Good and not undemanding in its attempt to place us within Van Gogh's experience of the world (including lots of blurred focus and saturated colours), though the editing and cinematography sometimes tipped into overly showy for me. Intense and sombre, and structured around dialogues between the artist and others who he met at Arles and Saint-Remy which get close to real philosophical heft at times. I didn't need the Jesus analogies, but Dafoe's performance is probably as close as anyone's could be to selling it all.
