Jean-Claude Carriere
At Eternity's Gate by Julian Schnabel
Screenplay: Jean-Claude Carriere, Louise Kugelberg, Julian Schnabel
USA, France | 2018 | English, French | 110 min.|Colour
Synopsis: This film is an accumulation of scenes based on Vincent Van Gogh's paintings, common agreement about events in his life that parade as facts, hearsay and scenes that are just plain invented. The making of art gives an opportunity to make a palpable body that expresses a reason to live. Even with all the violence and tragedy associated with Van Gogh's life, his was a life lived rich with magic, profound communication with nature and the wonder of being. Van Gogh's work is ultimately optimistic. His unique perspective is one whose belief and vision make visible and physical the inexpressible.
