Horrifying - but informative - tragic biography of Van Gogh, with a look at his painting technique and location filming of the places he lived.

Kirk Douglas could be a little much, but that proves to be the right amount in Lust for Life...

Rating: A --
One of Minnelli's best pictures, a visually stunning portrait of Van Gogh, splendidly played by Kirk Douglas

4 stars out of 5 -- Minnelli's vivid palette, all burnished yellows and turbulent blues, conveys something of the artist's fiery intensity.
Uncut
Rating: 3.5/4 --
The Best Actor Oscar that year went to Yul Brynner for his broad emoting in The King and I, but Douglas -- in one of the defining performances of his career -- would have been a far more deserving winner.

Creative Loafing
Rating: B --
A competently made and acted biopic on the Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh (Kirk Douglas), that's nevertheless uninspiring.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Rating: 7/10 --
The movie, attractive as it may be, never 'breaks through the iron wall' between what is felt and what is expressed, the very wall that van Gogh himself strove to overcome.
