At Eternity's Gate

undefined

Product Description ------------------- Earning him an O® nomination, Willem Dafoe is mesmerising as Vincent van Gogh. Covering his time in Arles and Auvers-sur-Oise, we find a complex, troubled soul who is seeking a new visual language, while also struggling to make sense of himself and his connection to those around him. Review ------ Set in the final 2½ years of van Gogh s life beginning with his meeting the painter Paul Gauguin in late 1887, and ending with the artist s death in the summer of 1890 the film, which stars an uncannily convincing Willem Dafoe, is at its best when it shows rather than tells. Despite being 25 years older than van Gogh was when he died, Dafoe delivers an impassioned and believable performance, his deeply lined face capturing the mix of agony and ecstasy to borrow a phrase from another artistic biopic that this tortured artist must have felt. - Michael O'Sullivan --https://www.washingtonpost.com/goingoutguide/movies/willem-dafoe-is-an-impassioned-van-gogh-in-this-fascinating-yet-frustrating-biopic/2018/11/19/1e439162-e85f-11e8-a939-9469f1166f9d_story.html?noredirect=on In the new Vincent van Gogh biopic At Eternity s Gate, the artist and filmmaker Julian Schnabel doesn t merely want you to see the increasingly volatile van Gogh (Willem Dafoe) but to see what van Gogh sees and to feel the painter s fever his lust not just for life but for the presence of Eternity (or the Divine or Name Your Higher Power) in the colors and shapes of this world. As an act of sympathetic imagination, the movie is only partly successful, but that part can take your breath away. The images vibrate with emotion. - David Edelstein --https://www.vulture.com/2018/11/at-eternitys-gate-puts-you-inside-vincent-van-goghs-head.html P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); About the Actor --------------- Having made over one hundred films in his legendary career, Willem Dafoe is internationally respected for bringing versatility, boldness, and dare to some of the most iconic films of our time.

About the Director ------------------ Prior to establishing his film career, Julian Schnabel made a name for himself (throughout the 1980s) as a "neo-expressionist" artist/painter (some of his paintings involved smashed plates glued to wooden panels).
