This documentary traces the events of van Gogh?s final years and reveals his turbulent spirit. It is ablaze with the canvases he painted between 1888 and 1890 and draws on his prolific correspondence with his brother, Theo. In a vivid combination of Vincent?s words and images, and with stunning location footage, it brings to life his time in Arles; the period he spent in the asylum at Saint-Remy de Province; and his last weeks in Aucers-sur-Oise.

After watching this documentary you have a better understanding of the artist's feelings when he painted.

1. I saw The Starry Night at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City last year.  It was mesmerizing.  It was far more beautiful than I anticipated.
