Vincent and Theo
The film follows the great artist Vincent van Gogh and his art dealer brother Theo during their time in Paris. While Vincent dedicates his life to art and work as a full-time painter, his brother just sells the art to make life easier. The difference in their ways of thinking gradually send them into a tragic family story.

Nowhere does Altman sermonise about the artist's greatness; his achievement is allowed to speak for itself. If only more film-makers had such confidence and integrity.
