What Van Gogh Is About

Out of the asylum, Van Gogh settles at Doctor Gachet's house in Auvers. The film covers only his last weeks and runs two and a half hours. Maurice Pialat uses none of the legend: no severed ear, no spectacle of madness. What is in front of us is a bad-tempered, indebted, ordinary man who paints, argues and idles with women. Jacques Dutronc won the César for it. The affair with the doctor's daughter Marguerite is not supported by the record; it is the film's own invention. Not for anyone who wants a genius, but for anyone who wants a person.
