## Description

Product Description The eternal struggle between madness and genius takes its toll on the brothers Van Gogh in this "luminous" (LA Weekly) masterpiece from Academy Award®-nominated* director Robert Altman. Tim Roth and Paul Rhys give "stupendous performances" (Rolling Stone) in the roles of tortured artist Vincent and his brother Theo in this "beautiful, disturbing and powerful film" (Screen) that is "as rich and tactile as a Van Gogh painting" (New York Post).In life, hewas impoverished, his work largely ignored; yet today, paintings by Vincent Van Gogh fetch millionsof dollars at auction. This supreme irony is laid bare in the passionate story of an obsessive artist driven by inexorable demons and his alternately devoted and despairing younger brother, who seemsunable to live with him or without him.*2001: Gosford Park; 1993: Short Cuts; 1992: The Player; 1975: Nashville; 1970: M*A*S*H desertcart.com Robert Altman, the great ironist of American movies, can't resist beginning Vincent & Theo with video of an art auction at Christie's, where Van Gogh's Sunflowers attracts dizzying multi-million-dollar bids. Dissolve to the utterly squalid hovel where Vincent (Tim Roth) lives--reminding us that the artist sold but one painting in his poor, tormented lifetime. Vincent & Theo is an unusual and--fittingly enough--impressionistic look at Vincent and his brother Theo (Paul Rhys), the mad genius and the art broker. These parallel lives unfold, with Vincent's celebrated wallow in the fires of art running alongside Theo's neurotic struggle to fit into the real world. Roth is mesmerizing and frightening as Vincent, while Rhys gives a more mannered performance that fits Theo's tortured ambivalence. The eerie buzz of Gabriel Yared's music helps us get inside Vincent's head. If the true-life circumstances are unavoidably grim and Altman's pace is slow, almost druggy, the film nevertheless casts a spell. (Vincent's eloquent letters to Theo are beautifully used in Paul Cox's Vincent, a good companion piece to this version of the artist's life.) --Robert Horton

Review: VINCENT & THEO - This is the BEST DVD, acted footage I have seen, that portrays the life of Vincent & Theo. I have studied the artist in great extent, and every scene, every incident, is taken from real life incidents that are documented in the many letters and pieces of ART Work done by Van Gogh. He was a determined, yet sick and tormented soul. No other ARTIST has left such a chronological documentation of their life, their struggles and their sorrows. Vincent did, and Theo gave his life to help him achieve that goal. When they didn't, Theo's wife took over where they left off, and after death, their dream was realized. This is WELL acted . . .the actor's playing the brother's seem to have taken over the minds of the individuals, and it is so touching and yet very heart breaking. I have given this DVD to many other's to view; and even 'tho they are not Art Lovers ~ they have said after viewing it, that "I Now feel like I know this artist, and can look at his paintings with a whole new light . . ." I highly recommend this DVD. (although, not so great for children's viewing, because they do throw in a little romance . . .) I rate this on a AAAAA+ FIVE STARS PLUS
Review: Another side of Vangoh revealed. - This is the best Vincent Vangoh movie l have ever seen. Very well done!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Intelligent and intimate in a stunning dvd format
*by T***S on September 23, 2005*

The intimacy and intensity between the van Gogh brothers is that of lovers. You don't need to be physical to share the deepest emotions and relationship. My interest with Vincent began only after I read his letters to Theo. The brilliance of his art only caught fire after reading the intimate letters between these two brothers. Van Gogh's true genius and his deep and dark introspect and intelligence is revealed in these letters. The performances of this well written script are directed toward a more mature and sophisticated audience. You feel the grit, humanness and frustrations both Vincent and Theo shared. Vincent's visits to Hell and the brothels reveal something of both the man and the artist. I can't imagine a more authentic portrayal. Theo's frustration and love for his brother were electric. I have never seen more sparks between two people on the screen. Having read the letters, having read a couple biographies, and having come to appreciate van Gogh's work, I find this stunning performance and dvd a wonderful documentation on one of Humanity's great artists. Everyone involved deserves much praise. Altman's documentary is also excellent. I highly recommend this dvd.
