Vincent van Gogh : A New Way of Seeing
David Bickerstaff
Bénéficiant d’un accès exclusif et sans précédent aux trésors du Musée Van Gogh d’Amsterdam, ce nouveau film majeur porte sur l’un des artistes préférés du monde. Le film offre aux spectateurs une expérience émouvante et inspirante en leur permettant de voir de près les chefs-d’œuvre emblématiques de Vincent Van Gogh à l’écran et présente de nouvelles perspectives et interprétations par des invités spéciaux, dont V. Willem van Gogh, arrière-petit-fils de Theo van Gogh, et l’artiste contemporain Lachlan Goudie. Les lettres éclairantes de Vincent à sa famille et à ses amis prennent vie grâce à une dramatisation qui donne corps à une nouvelle biographie. Des recherches récentes remettent en question les nombreux mythes entourant la vie tourmentée de Vincent. Nous examinons de près la vie d’un homme qui nous rappelle que “l’art est long et la vie est courte”.
