The eternal struggle between madness and genius takes its toll on the brothers Van Gogh in this luminous masterpiece from Academy Award-nominated director Robert Altman. In life, he was impoverished, his work largely ignored; yet today, paintings by Vincent Van Gogh fetch millions of dollars at auction. This supreme irony is laid bare in the passionate story of an obsessive artist driven by inexorable demons and his alternately devoted and despairing younger brother, who seems unable to live with him... or without him.
