Vincent & Theo
Leaving November 30
•
2h 20m
Directed by Robert Altman • 1990 • Netherlands, United Kingdom, France
Starring Tim Roth, Paul Rhys, Kitty Courbois
The struggle between madness and genius takes its toll on the brothers Van Gogh in Robert Altman’s brilliantly inspired exploration of fevered creativity and tormented family bonds, one of the greatest triumphs of the director’s later career. In life, Vincent van Gogh was impoverished, his work largely ignored; today, his paintings are revered as priceless masterpieces. This irony is laid bare in this passionate story of Vincent (an extraordinary Tim Roth), an obsessive artist driven by inexorable demons and his devoted, yet despairing, younger brother, Theo (Paul Rhys), who seems unable to live with him . . . or without him.
