Mai Zetterling's new film explores the genius and suffering of Vincent Van Gogh, reflecting the painter's obsession with the Provencal landscape.
Michael Gough, who plays Van Gogh, is seen coming to terms with the challenge of playing a man very unlike himself.
All the dialogue and commentary for the film is drawn from the letters of Van Gogh to his brother Theo, apart from the testimony of four other artists who were in France when the film was made.
