Editorial Reviews

This filmed biography of Vincent Van Gogh was adapted by Norman Corwin from the best-selling novel by Irving Stone, which was in turn inspired by the written correspondence between Van Gogh and his brother Theo. Kirk Douglas plays the tormented genius, whose obsessive devotion to his art engulfs, consumes, and finally destroys him. James Donald costars as Theo Van Gogh, who provides financial and moral support to his brother from the time Vincent leaves his Holland home in 1878 to his death in Auvers in 1890. Anthony Quinn won an Oscar for his eight-minute turn as Van Gogh's fast friend and erstwhile rival Paul Gaugin. Nearly 200 of Van Gogh's original paintings were borrowed from private collections for brief display in the film: some are "recreated" before our eyes, as the artist stands before his easel, spattered with paint and with a look of white-hot intensity burned into his countenance.

August 29, 2002: I did not like the film Vincent and Theo. However I do like Lust for Life.Judging from the parts of LFL that I have seen Vincent is shown as he is recorded in history as a caring St.Francis like protestant preacher. Vincent's artistic motives are less murky in this film than in Vincent and Theo. Vincent and Theo just made him look like a mad man that did not deserve his fame.
