USA/France/UK/Netherlands/1990—directed by Robert Altman | 138 minutes

Several key episodes in the intertwined lives of Vincent Van Gogh (Tim Roth) and his brother Theo (Paul Rhys) are juxtaposed with consummate skill and sensitivity by one of the greatest of all cinematic storytellers, director Robert Altman.

Originally conceived as a four-hour, multi-part series for television, Altman and screenwriter Julian Mitchell simultaneously edited the film into this 138-minute version designed for theatrical release, which is how it was seen in American theaters and described by critic Roger Ebert as “a film that generates the feeling that we are in the presence of a man in the act of creation.”
