Van Gogh: follia della notte

The story of Van Gogh's life is all in his paintings and it is the story of a soul in torment. By way of the Dutch works of that period the documentary shows how the artist confronted with those dark skies and that hostile climate, felt the irresistible urge of flight that was to lead him to Paris. With the picture of his Parisian period, Van Gogh's divisionist experience reveals the painter's attempts to find a climate that was conductive to his poetic requirements.
