Overview

Van Gogh is a 1991 French biographical drama film written and directed by Maurice Pialat. It stars Jacques Dutronc in the role of Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh, for which he won the 1992 César Award for Best Actor. Set in 1890, the film follows the last 67 days of Van Gogh's life and explores his relationships with his brother Theo, his physician Paul Gachet (most famous as the subject of Van Gogh's painting Portrait of Dr. Gachet), and the women in his life, including Gachet's daughter, Marguerite. The film was entered into the 1991 Cannes Film Festival, and selected as the French entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 64th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee. Jean-Luc Godard praised the film in a letter to Pialat, in which he wrote: "My dear Maurice, your film is astonishing, totally astonishing; far beyond the cinematic horizon covered up until now by our wretched gaze." Cast Jacques Dutronc as Vincent van Gogh Alexandra London as Marguerite (Gachet) Bernard Le Coq as Theo van Gogh Gérard Séty as Gachet Elsa Zylberstein as Cathy Corinne Bourdon as Jo Leslie Azzoulai as Adeline (as Leslie Azoulai) Jacques Vidal as Ravoux Lise Lamétrie as Madame Ravoux Chantal Barbarit as Madame Chevalier Claudine Ducret as Piano Teacher Frédéric Bonpart as La Mouche Maurice Coussonneau as Chaponval Didier Barbier as The Idiot Gilbert Pignol as Gilbert André Bernot as The Red Mound

Notable quotes

“I am sure you will like it, it is such a fine business [art-dealer].. ..I am so glad that we shall both be in the same profession [art dealing] and in the same firm [Goupil and Co.]”
— Quote in his letter to brother Theo from The Hague, The Netherlands (13 December 1872); as quoted in Vincent van Gogh, edited by Alfred H. Barr; Museum of Modern Art, New York, 1935, p. 17 (letter 2)
“..by going on drawing those types of working people, etc., I hope to arrive at the point of being able to do illustration work for papers and books.”
— In his letter to brother Theo, from Brussels, Belgium (January 1881, letter 140); as quoted in Vincent van Gogh, edited by Alfred H. Barr; Museum of Modern Art, New York, 1935, p. 19
“Do you know what I long for sometimes? To make a trip to Brabant. I should love to draw the old churchyard at Nuenen, and the weavers. To make, for instance, during a month, studies of Brabant, and to come back [to The Hague] with a lot of them, for a large drawing of a peasant funeral for instance.”
— Quote of letter 295, from The Hague, 1883; as cited in Vincent van Gogh, Alfred H. Barr; Museum of Modern Art, New York, 1935, catalog-page: Dutch Period 2. - Weaver
“I am not working for myself alone, I believe in the absolute necessity for a new art of color, of design, and - of the artistic life..”
— Letter to Theo, Spring 1888; as quoted in Vincent van Gogh, edited by Alfred H. Barr; Museum of Modern Art, New York, 1935, (letter 469) p. 22
“This art that we are all working in, we feel it has a long future before it, and one must have some settled base, like steady people, and not like decadents. Here my life will become more and more like a Japanese painter's, living close to nature like a petty tradesman.”
— Letter to Theo, Autumn 1888; as quoted in Vincent van Gogh, edited by Alfred H. Barr; Museum of Modern Art, New York, 1935, (letter 540), pp. 22-23
“The thing has already taken form in my mind before I start it. The first attempts are absolutely unbearable. I say this because I want you to know that if you see something worthwhile in what I am doing, it is not by accident but because of real direction and purpose.”
— Letters to an Artist: From Vincent Van Gogh to Anton Ridder, 1881-1885 (1936), p. 107; also quoted in The Path of Least Resistance : Principles for Creating What You Want to Create (1984) by Robert Fritz, p. 181
