Dir. Andrew Hutton · Starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Jamie Parker, Aidan McArdle, Christopher Good, Rowena Cooper, Daniel Weyman
DramaDocumentary

A drama-documentary presented by Alan Yentob, with Benedict Cumberbatch in the lead role. Every word spoken by the actors in this film is sourced from the letters that Van Gogh sent to his younger brother Theo, and of those around him. What emerges is a complex portrait of a sophisticated, civilised and yet tormented man.

VIBE

A deeply felt, melancholic journey into the mind of a tortured genius. It's a visually rich, introspective experience that captures the raw passion and profound isolation of an artist wrestling with his demons and his craft.
