~STORY~.
After being completely unappreciated in Paris, Van Gogh went to Arles in the south of France to "find a new light". He was always lonely, unable to establish proper relationships with other people. His life together with Gauguin, whose talent he admired, came to an end with a shocking incident. What did the genius who left behind so many great masterpieces see in his life?

The film was directed by Julian Schnabel, the genius who created a sensation with "The Diving Suit Dreams of a Butterfly," which was nominated for four Academy Awards. Willem Defoe was selected to play the lead role, and Schnabel said, "He was the only person I could think of for this role. This film won the Best Actor Award at the 75th Venice International Film Festival, and was also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor for the first time. This alone raises expectations for the film.

These black-and-white photos are rare making-of photos showing director Schnabel painting the play.

Director Schnabel, who is also a painter, Defoe, and a team of painters created more than 130 paintings of Van Gogh that appear in the film. The method of production is also unique: the French painter Edith Paudrin first painted Defoe's Van Gogh, and then Schnabel added to it.
　

Van Gogh believed in his own aesthetics and continued to hold on to his brush even though no one understood him while he was alive. In this gem of a moving film, director Schnabel puts all his energy into depicting what this solitary painter, who faced his art clumsily, was looking at through his own life. Please enjoy the overwhelming beauty of the images on the screen.
