I haven't yet seen the film. But if anyone were ever born to play Van Gogh, then it would be Dafoe.

You mentioned Lust for Life, which was an impressive film when it came out in 1956, both for...

I agree with your review, although you liked the film more than I did. The acting was first rate, but the stories beneath the main action were not believable, and it was too scattered. I couldn't...

Nice review. Altman's treatment was a nice idea, but Chandler's story didn't jibe for me in a contemporary setting. And Gould didn't seem right for a classic Marlowe.
