Vincent and Theo
The film follows the great artist Vincent van Gogh and his art dealer brother Theo during their time in Paris. While Vincent dedicates his life to art and work as a full-time painter, his brother just sells the art to make life easier. The difference in their ways of thinking gradually send them into a tragic family story.

An Altman masterpiece.
January 26, 2006
Nowhere does Altman sermonise about the artist's greatness; his achievement is allowed to speak for itself. If only more film-makers had such confidence and integrity.

[A] film that generates the feeling that we are in the presence of a man in the act of creation.
August 30, 2004
The enjoyment in Vincent and Theo comes more from the director's attention to art history than from his ability to interpret it anew.

This was Altman's most watchable theatrical feature in about a decade, and the actors always keep you guessing.

The Altmans bring Van Gogh's subjects back to life.
