If you loved Auf das, was wir lieben, try Van Gogh
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Maurice Pialat, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Auf das, was wir lieben, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Van Gogh is
Viggo Mortensen’s Van Gogh gets institutional release then moves in with the doctor whose daughter he’s supposed to be healing. Posters, not people, get his attention as he paints through the breakdown. A brief affair ends when his brush strokes replace his heartbeats.
