Van Gogh (1990)

Van Gogh (1990) Singer-songwirter Jacques Dutronc won a César for Best Actor in this revisionist biopic written and directed by Maurice Pialat. The film focuses on Von Gogh’s relationship with his physician, Paul Gachet [Gérard Séty], and Margurite [Alexandra London], the physician’s daughter. However, it descends into backroom cancan dances at the Folies Bergère, with a cameo appearance from…

‘Van Gogh (1991)’ (R)

By Desson Howe Washington Post Staff Writer January 01, 1993

Another year, another movie about Vincent van Gogh, or so it would seem. "Van Gogh," Maurice Pialat's 155-minute movie about the painter's last months, hardly fills a vacuum of need. But very often, this drama feels like fresh, direct insight.

At its best (which occurs often enough for you to go), "Van Gogh" provides a sense of realness — that feeling of the big rush of nothingness artists are supposed to make beautiful sense of. Director Pialat, a former (and failed) painter himself, is strongly interested in the non-romantic passing of time.

This is the year 1890, at Auvers-sur-Oise, France. The real Van Gogh, who has completed a rest period at an asylum near the Ville de Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, is to embark on his final round. Said to be recuperated, he is soon to kill himself at 37 with a self-inflicted gunshot.

In the movie, you don't see Van Gogh (Jacques Dutronc) complete the final brush stroke of a masterpiece, then call up old Paul Gauguin for a celebratory absinthe. You do see a thin, stringy man, suffering from headaches, enjoying whores and moping around irascibly. "Van Gogh" denies you familiar highlights, keeps you from his working elbow and avoids the Ear Thing. But it shows you the quotidian stuff in between. This is the story of an artist being human, carrying canvases out or lugging them back in — their famous images intentionally out of sight.

In Pialat's film, that non-artistic activity includes chatting with admirer-patron Dr. Gachet (Gérard Séty), visiting with brother Theo (Bernard Le Coq) and his wife Jo (CorinneBourdon), and consorting with cheerful Renoir-supple women on painterly riverbanks or in bordello salons.

Here's where the movie's Life magazine posings occasionally undo its quasi-documentary integrity. Photo-opportunity famousness occurs when Toulouse-Lautrec is seen taking a snooze amid the laughing girls and the cigarette smoke. Women seem to treat Van Gogh like James Bond 007 — including beautiful whore Cathy (Elsa Zylberstein) and Dr. Gachet's daughter, Marguerite (Alexandra London).

Even the hostility expressed by an innkeeper's daughter (Leslie Azzoulai) seems cover for an intrigued crush. Was Vincent really a paintbrush-bearing love animal?

As the eponymous painter, Dutronc (an actor well-known to French audiences for his erstwhile Dylanesque songwriting days) exudes a marvelous, childlike air. His performance somewhat echoes Tim Roth's finer interpretation in Robert Altman's " Vincent & Theo."

Both actors share a sense of neediness, of innocence and vulnerability, as well as a melancholy, messianic thinness. Of all the elements in Pialat's movie, it is Dutronc's presence that most lingers. He expresses little of the glorious rapture demonstrated by his real-life counterpart in letters to his brother Theo van Gogh. Nor is he that apocryphal, ear-slicing loony-genius. What he does is retain the mystery, and if there's one staple about Van Gogh, it's the unknown.

"Van Gogh" is in French with subtitles.

Van Gogh (Maurice Pialat, 1991)

Van Gogh ha tardado dos años en estrenarse en Madrid, y ha durado en cartel dos semanas. A pesar de que los críticos españoles destacados en el Festival de Venecia de 1991 la maltrataron, es de esperar que ni ellos mismos se acuerden de lo que dijeron, por lo que semejante falta de interés por la última película de Maurice Pialat, y hasta por Vincent Van Gogh, se me antoja un síntoma preocupante de incultura y falta de curiosidad.

Para mí, se trata de la mejor obra de un cineasta que es hoy, con Godard, el más interesante en activo de Europa, y por lo tanto del mundo. Pero, aunque fuese anónima y nada significara para mí Van Gogh, creo difícil verla sin sentirse maravillado, con esa especie de escalofrío de exaltación y sorpresa que sólo producen las películas verdaderamente excepcionales e innovadoras. Este último aspecto, debo admitirlo, es de importancia secundaria, aunque es posible que sea uno de los escollos mayores de la película: los mismos que hubieran reprochado a Pialat caer en el biopic —que ya hizo, y muy bien, Minnelli en 1956— sienten que "no habla de Van Gogh", además de rehuir la biografía en sentido estricto y centrarse en los últimos meses de su vida, le trata como lo hubiese hecho un cronista local de la época, es decir, sin reverencia hagiográfica, sin el saber retrospectivo que tenemos ahora, sin pintarlo como un genio, y sin dedicarse exclusivamente a reflejar la creación artística, sino su vida cotidiana, sus humores, sus distracciones, su melancolía, su trabajo.

Otro gran acierto de Pialat parece desconcertar: no sólo no trata de reconstruir cinematográficamente los lienzos de Van Gogh, sino que muestra constantemente lo que el pintor tenía a su alrededor pero sus cuadros, en su crispación subjetiva, no reflejan —como el agua, ciertas luces, la serenidad—; por eso la película es de imágenes más "renoirianas" —del padre, Pierre-Auguste, y de su hijo Jean, el cineasta— que "vangoghianas". Como la pintura, igual que el cine, es un arte selectivo, que encuadra, elige puntos de vista y transfigura la realidad, para entender a Van Gogh es tan necesario saber lo que de ella escogía —que está en sus cuadros— como lo que eliminaba, dejaba fuera, no veía, que es precisamente lo que Pialat nos muestra: los encuadres y los contenidos posibles y descartados, todo aquello a lo que Van Gogh, como artista, no era sensible.

Aunque no puede decirse de ningún plano que esté copiado de uno ajeno, Pialat ha logrado el prodigio de sintetizar en Van Gogh el cine de Renoir y el de John Ford, para retratar con naturalidad, humor y violencia —a su manera— al pintor y a todos los personajes que le rodean. Encuentro genial a Jacques Dutronc, pero también a Gérard Séty, Bernard Le Coq, Corinne Bourdon, Elsa Zylberstein, Leslie Azzoulai y, sobre todo, a Alexandra London como Marguerite Gachet. Con Van Gogh, paradójicamente, alcanza Pialat la serenidad y la armonía, y logra una de las películas más conmovedoras, hermosas y emocionantes de los últimos años.

Review/Film: Telling van Gogh's Story, The Revised Version

By VINCENT CANBY

The New York Times Archives

After Maurice Pialat's "Van Gogh" was shown at the Cannes International Film Festival in 1991, some members of the audience emerged feeling vaguely cheated and disoriented. "What happened to his ear?" one woman asked her friend. She might have more properly wondered, "What didn't happen to his ear?" All sensational reports to the contrary, Vincent van Gogh did not cut his ear entirely off. He took some nasty swipes at it.

As if to wipe away the myths, Mr. Pialat, the French director who was himself a painter for a number of years, has made "Van Gogh," opening today at the Lincoln Plaza Cinema. Forget all of the hysterical melodrama of "Lust for Life." This "Van Gogh" is an almost serene consideration of the remarkably productive final two months in the artist's life, ending on the day of his death, July 29, 1890, two days after he suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

In Mr. Pialat's revisionist's view, van Gogh couldn't possibly have turned out paintings of such consistent vigor, and at such a pace, if he had been the depressed lunatic he is most often supposed to have been. His film's Vincent, played with seriousness but without solemnity by Jacques Dutronc, is a man who works very hard, and who no longer has the time or the constitution for out-of-control debauchery. He is plagued by headaches and by fears of the return of the bouts of madness that earlier sent him into the asylum. Yet he is not a madman.

"Van Gogh" is almost anti-dramatic. The film opens with Vincent's arrival at Auvers-sur-Oise, a picturesque village north of Paris that has been a favorite with painters for some time. His contact there is Dr. Gachet (Gérard Séty), a wonderfully eccentric medical man who admires painters and, as a result, already has a house stuffed with the work of Cezanne, Pisarro and Renoir, among others.

Dr. Gachet has promised Vincent's brother Theo (Bernard Le Coq) and Theo's wife, Jo (Corinne Bourdon), to look after him. For a time, Vincent and the doctor are fast friends. Gachet understands Vincent's work and sees him as taking painting in an entirely new direction. Vincent does portraits of the doctor and one of his daughter, Marguerite (Alexandra London), at the piano, a work later to be known as "Mlle. Gachet at the Piano."

Mr. Pialat mostly avoids this sort of "See It Now" approach to art history in the making, but no movie about a great painter can avoid it completely. When Vincent returns from a long day in the field, there are bound to be questions about what he has under his arm. Could it be "The Plain at Auvers"? Or maybe "The Plain of Auvers Under a Stormy Sky"? At one point toward the end, Marguerite follows Vincent to Paris where she, Vincent and Theo wind up having a very sporting night on the town, a sequence in which Toulouse-Lautrec shows up and Mr. Pialat presents a few discreet quotes from the work of other painters of the day.

Most of the time, "Van Gogh" is a leisurely, roomy sort of movie, about Vincent's daily life in Auvers, his boisterous, convivial reunions with Theo and Jo over long outdoor lunches at the Gachets', and the occasional picnics with other artists and their models who have come up from Paris for the day.

Mr. Pialat also suggests that Vincent has an affair with Marguerite when she throws herself at him. It's a schoolgirl's crush on her part. Vincent accepts her without committing himself. In the film, this is what leads to his break with her father and, perhaps, hastens his suicide.

"Van Gogh" is a good, quiet, rigorous film, made with intelligence and acted with earnest conviction. It looks lovely, but never makes the mistake of equating a real-life view with what finally appears on Vincent's canvas. "Van Gogh" doesn't shake its head over Vincent's sad fate. It accepts him as he appears to accept himself, without tears, and with only a moderate amount of fury directed at the forces that have yet to recognize him.

"Van Gogh," which has been rated R (under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian), features some partial nudity and some sexual situations.
