It stars Jacques Dutronc in the role of Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh, for which he won the 1992 César Award for Best Actor. Set in 1890, the film follows the last 67 days of Van Gogh's life and explores his relationships with his brother Theo, his physician Paul Gachet (most famous as the subject of Van Gogh's painting Portrait of Dr.
Gachet), and the women in his life, including Gachet's daughter, Marguerite.
The film was entered into the 1991 Cannes Film Festival,[2] and selected as the French entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 64th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.[3]
Jean-Luc Godard praised the film in a letter to Pialat, in which he wrote: "My dear Maurice, your film is astonishing, totally astonishing; far beyond the cinematic horizon covered up until now by our wretched gaze."
