MCT:June 4, 2008You know it's going to be a great film when you have Watkins applying the montage editing that has served his provocative war films so well to a vast biopic. The film mixes biography to improvised fiction. In addition the soundtrack is much more intricately designed than the earlier films in that several tracks would be playing at the same time, often they are partially divorced from the images, but they work in the same way as his montage editing. All the elements of the narrative mesh so well within editing style to present vividly the artist, his world, and the artistic process.

Certainly one of the best movies ever made. The actors are brilliant, specially the one playing Munch who has as well an amazing physical resemblance with the original.
This is also the only film of fiction that convincingly portraits the creativity required to paint, miles away from Vincent drinks and suddenly he sees the sunflowers blue. The director is an artist himself and uses all the possibilities given by the TV camera. The light and in general the ambiance is unique (cold and inspiring).
Despite the fact that Watkins latter said he did not like this bit of his work, the editing is wonderful. It is fast and it tells its own story. It allows Watkins to deal with the childhood memories but in the mean time to escape the Freudian interpretations.
There would be many other aspects of the film to praise (costumes, how it deals with Munch's influences, ?) but let me just say one last thing: watch it and you'll never thanks Watkins enough to have made the pleasure last 3 hours.
