Van Gogh himself is played by Robert Gulaczyk.
'GAUGUIN' BIOPIC
VINCENT CASSEL IN TAHITI
Coming from France as soon as the end of September is a movie on another famous painter GAUGUIN who is portrayed by famous French star Vincent Cassel. The movie is set back in 1891. Gauguin exiles himself in Tahiti. He wants to find his painting, as a free man, as a savage, far from the moral, political and aesthetic codes of civilized Europe. He sinks into the jungle, braving solitude, poverty, sickness. There he will meet Tehura, who will become his wife, and the subject of his greatest canvases.
Gauguin with Vincent Cassel, promising!
ReplyDeleteyou will have to teach us French, first, Phillie!
DeleteHmm, interesting how they are making Van Gogh's paintings come alive in the video. They always did look like they could move off the canvas.
ReplyDeletehe did have unusual brush strokes. I was never a huge fan of impressionists
DeleteMariah will enjoy Loving Vincent. Her all time favorite piece of art is Starry Night. She saw some of his work reproduced on a Luis Vuitton bag in Vegas and even though she doesn't carry a handbag often, she really was itching to have that bag in her possession!
ReplyDeleteI think you can find her tons of different merchandise inspired by Starry Night, from T-shirts and bed covers to slippers and even shoes :)
DeleteShe has a pair of leggings that she loves to workout in that are Starry Night. There really is quite a few items with that popular piece on them.
Deleteindeed
DeleteNot sure whether I might become annoyed by the animation style....

I think I probably would
DeleteThe trailer seemed interesting as it was created in the form of his artwork. Will it be successful? I guess it depends on how long it is as my mind might wander too much focusing on the artwork and not the story line.
ReplyDeletetrue, although I don't think it will have a wide release, probably just selected theatres
