Lust for Life (1956)


Vincent Van Gogh is the archetypical tortured artistic
genius. His obsession with painting, combined with mental
illness, propels him through an unhappy life full of
failures and unrewarding relationships. He fails at being
a preacher to coal miners. He fails in his relationships
with women. He earns some respect among his fellow painters,
especially Paul Gauguin, but he does not get along with
them. He only manages to sell one painting in his lifetime.
The one constant good in his life is his brother Theo, who
is unwavering in his moral and financial support. (IMDB)
