Rating:  - No Starry Night
This should not be viewed as a 'biography'. It is a ficticious movie that presents Vincent as a lady's man.
It is made even worse as a 'life of the artist' because all the actors are very convincing and resemble their namesakes. A viewer who does not know more than the usual 'van Gogh was crazy and he cut off his ear' will unfortunately take this account as truth.

This film was over-rated and over-hyped.
Jacques Dutronc is the most boring Van Gogh ever.

The great Robert Altman made the best and THE definitive film on the Van Gogh brothers.
That film is highly worth viewing and purchasing.
Rating: - Oh, God, I want the last three hours of my life back!
I cannot vouch for the accuracy of this film, because it lost my full attention past the opening scene. After five minutes, my significant other was asleep. Always a bad sign, he'll watch anything. The movie is about the last two months of Van Gogh's life, and it feels like the viewer is watching each day pass by; each scene draws out innocuous, tedious details, e.g., a scene Van Gogh examined by his physician sucks up a good ten minutes of the time; physician chats with his cook, his son, yada, yada; ...
