Egy nagy művész, a szörnyű kínokat megélt holland festő Vincent Van Gogh életét beszéli el ez a felkavaró kép világú, érdekfeszítő és érzelmeket ébresztő filmklasszikus, mindvégig hűségesen a valóság tényeihez. Hogyan lett a holland lelkészdinasztia sarjából ellenállhatatlan belső parancs sugallatára olyan ember, akit semi más nem érdekel, csak hogy fessen? Van Gogh mindössze harmminchét esztendőt élt, s ebből tíz évig alkotott. Nyomorgott, magányos és beteg volt. Ma képei nemcsak a leghíresebb múzeumok féltve őrzött darabjai, hanem a világ műkincspiacának dollármilliókért gazdát cserélő verhetetlen sztárjai is. A film alapjául Irving Stone életrajzi regénye szolgált, amelyet a festő és testvére, Theo közötti levelezés ihletett. (MTV)

This is what a good biopic should be. It seems to me that in times long past, American filmmakers were able to tackle the genre far better than they can today. Kirk Douglas as the psychologically torn painter Vincent van Gogh was almost demonic in certain scenes and certainly gave one of the best performances of his career. (80%)

An engaging biographical portrait of one of the most famous painters in modern history that avoids controversy, but dissects the personality of the main character and his fateful relationships very thoroughly and convincingly. Douglas and Quinn are perfect and the scenes that bring to life Van Gogh’s iconic paintings are beautiful. The epic orchestral score, on the other hand, is not very fitting and I would have liked a more tragic feeling by the end, instead of the universally melodramatic one. 80%

Kirk Douglas's performance is as passionate and expressive as Vincent Van Gogh's paintings are passionate and expressive. The film does make a lot up as part of its Hollywood license, but Kirk gets you through it. Also a plus for the cinemascope format, which was not standard in the 50s. I avoid dubbed films and prefer the original version, but here I have no choice but to say that Karel Höger was excellent. Not very valid, the old dubbing in K.M.Walo's time was really good.

A beautiful film that expresses everything I ever thought of van Gogh. It is the tragic fate of a man who clung tooth and nail to everything beautiful, so that at least for a moment he would not have to see the rest of it and so that he could forget his own difficulties. The great Kirk Douglas and the work of the director and the camera - the film images are wonderfully saturated and warm, exactly as they should be.
