Indiewire: Kalliope’s Van Gogh Biopic Seeks Director

September 27, 2011 by Spontaneous PR

The rich, dramatic story of Dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh–who has his own museum in Amsterdam– hasn’t been brought to life (in English, anyway) in a feature film since Robert Altman’s underappreciated Vincent and Theo (1990), starring Tim Roth. Vincente Minnelli’s 1956 Lust for Life memorably starred Kirk Douglas as Van Gogh; Anthony Quinn won the supporting actor Oscar as Paul Gauguin. Australian Paul Cox also directed a 1987 documentary on the painter, featuring John Hurt reading his letters (clip below).

Now Kalliope Films wants to do the full soup-to-nuts biopic treatment: Van Gogh.
