La Passion Van Gogh

Drama
2011

Paris, summer 1891, Armand Roulin is asked by his father, the organbuilder Joseph Roulin, to hand over a letter to Vincent van Gogh's brother, Theo. Indeed, the news of the painter's suicide has just fallen. Armand, not very pleased with the friendship between his father and the artist, is not really delighted with his mission. In Paris, Van Gogh's brother is nowhere to be found. The young man then learns from Father Tanguy, the painter's color dealer, that Theo, visibly devastated by the disappearance of his older brother, has only survived him for a few months. Realizing that he must have misjudged Vincent, Armand goes to Auvers-sur-Oise, where the painter spent his last months, to try to understand his desperate gesture. By questioning those who knew the artist, he discovers how surprising and passionate his life was. And that his life retains a great deal of mystery.
