This film is about the final days of Vincent Van Gogh; is directed by Julian Schnabel (“The Diving Bell and the Butterfly” (2007)); and stars Willem Dafoe (“The Florida Project” (2016)), Rupert Friend (“Pride & Prejudice” (2005)), Oscar Isaac (“The Promise” (2016)), Mads Mikkelsen (“A Royal Affair“ (2012)) and Mathieu Amalric (“The Diving Bell and the Butterfly“); the director knows something about making films about artists since he previously directed “Basquiat” (1996), a film about a postmodernist artist in New York; see also my list of 20 Fascinating Films about Visual Art, which also features “Basquiat” and many other notable movies about painters, their artistry and hardships.
Definitely willing to give this one a try.

I also think that Dafoe fits the image of van Gogh perfectly. I have also heard that they were debating the title, but I think they chose good.

Interesting…as I am Dutch myself, it will be interesting to see Dafoe take on this role for one of greatest painters. Hoping this one will be good 😊😊

Then, it will be more interesting for you. As I said above also, no matter how the film itself turns out, at least we can be more or less confident in Dafoe’s performance. He always gives it all.
