    Did the director deliberately disgust us people with vestibular dysfunction and motion sickness? I almost vomited in the first half. And what's wrong with the current biopics, as if I don't know how to start and close, the screen goes black for a minute with a voiceover. To sum up, this film tells the story of Fan Xiaokui who was born against the wind and painted the...

    It's really a bit of a drama for all European artists to speak American English... The whole movie has a feeling of "trying hard to get to the heart of the characters but it's useless". Of course, most things in life are like this. Even Van Gogh himself was out of tune with the world. Why did this movie feel like it was talking about itself. Willem Dafoe is still very charming, and he doesn't seem to have any sense of incongruity when he plays various archetypes that look completely different...

    It's too tricky to use Van Gogh and Gauguin to chat. The director has been engaged in neo-expressionism for more than 20 years before, but he has not given up painting yet. In fact, the filming of human faces in this play is very good, especially in all the dialogues, the faces of the two people are constantly reproduced in a transfer-style lens, and the texture is like a sculpture. The idea of ​​the whole movie is a bit earthy... It's really uncreative to choose the theme of Van Gogh. I...

    It’s true that everyone has their own Van Gogh in their hearts. The camera lens is swaying opposite each other. Willem Dafoe’s appearance should be very close, but how can English be broken in one mouth? No one can surpass Piara’s Van Gogh...

    A portrait of the painter [From Li Zongheng Film Critic]

    I have been looking forward to it for a long time and finally watched it.

    Julian Schnabel has filmed a painter-themed film with the same identity as his own since his debut in the film, the work that commemorates Basquiat. Coupled with the famous "Diving Bell and Butterflies" and "When the Night...

    Precipitating in loneliness

    Van Gogh painting in the woods in the film

    When I learned Van Gogh's paintings in art classes in primary and junior high schools in China, it didn't have much influence. However, the bright yellow sunflower was unforgettable until I saw it again in the cinema. The strange thing was that there was no...

At Eternity's Gate quotes

  • [first lines]

    Vincent Van Gogh: I just want to be one of them. I would like to sit down with them and have a drink and talk about anything. I'd like them to give me some tobacco, a glass of wine, or even just ask me, "How are you today?" And I would answer, and we would talk. And from time to time I'd make a sketch of one of them as a gift. They would accept it, maybe, and keep it somewhere, and a woman would smile at me and ask, "Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat? A piece of ham, some cheese, or maybe a fruit?"

  • Priest: Tell me frankly, because I'd like to understand. Why do you say you are a painter?

    Vincent Van Gogh: Because I paint. I love painting. I have to paint. Always been a painter, that I know of.
