Loving Vincent Review
To be fair, the film perhaps runs into the mere bad luck that cinema has done pretty well by
van Gogh in the past: especially the two wonderful creations by Vincente Minnelli (1956’s
Lust for Life) and Maurice Pialat (1991’s Van Gogh), not to mention an Altman one, and so
on. A further forthcoming biopic, starring Willem Dafoe and directed by Julian Schnabel, will
adopt a first-person point of view. One thing’s for sure: a curio it may be, and skimpy on the
human element, but Loving Vincent certainly doesn’t skimp on the beauty or the
brushstrokes.
