This movie is an accumulation of scenes based on Vincent Van Gogh’s paintings, common agreement about events in his life that parade as facts, hearsay, and scenes that are plain invented. The making of art gives an opportunity to make a palpable body that expresses a reason to live, if such a thing exists. Despite all the violence and tragedy that has been associated with Van Gogh’s life, his was a life lived rich with magic, profound communication with nature and the wonder of being. Van Gogh’s work seems to have transgressed death and encouraged others to do the same.
