Throughout his whole life and now after, Vincent Van Gogh has been a man of considerable intrigue. From the reclusive artist to the deeply tortured man, Van Gogh’s story is now being translated into film and is playing in only a select few countries, including here in Australia.
Two years in the making, “A new way of Seeing” provides an extraordinary biography of Van Gogh’s life made with unprecedented access to the treasures of Amsterdam’s Van Gogh Museum.
Featuring Downtown Abbey star Jamie de Courcey, the film marks the 125th anniversary of his death, and utilises accounts from Van Gogh’s letters, Art, and historical evidence to dispel many of the myths surrounding his life, such as his ‘madness’ and art practices.
