Plot Summary
The eternal struggle between madness and genius takes its toll on the brothers Van Gogh in this film from Academy Award-nominated director Robert Altman. Tim Roth and Paul Rhys play the roles of tortured artist Vincent and his brother Theo. In life, he was impoverished, his work largely ignored; yet today, paintings by Vincent Van Gogh fetch millions of dollars at auction. This supreme irony is laid bare in the passionate story of an obsessive artist driven by inexorable demons and his alternately devoted and despairing younger brother, who seems unable to live with him... or without him.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: The enjoyment in Vincent and Theo comes more from the director's attention to art history than from his ability to interpret it anew.
Fresh: An Altman masterpiece.
Fresh: This masterwork operates in the intimate, thoughtful vein of the great BBC bios of artistic figures.
Fresh: This lovely if deliberate film marks Altman's return to a more straightforward, but by no means expected, style.
