I watched Lust For Life the other night. A biographical film about the life of Vincent van Gogh, based on the book by Irving Stone. Starred Kirk Douglas as Van Gogh and Anthony Quinn as Paul Gauguin.
A bit slow moving due mostly to just documenting Van Gogh’s life and it’s a mid-50’s movie. Quinn won an Oscar for best supporting actor but I thought his role was too heavy handed. Douglas was much better depicting Van Gogh’s tortured life. But visually, the movie was excellent depicting the French countryside in Van Gogh’s paintings.
