Lust for Life (BD) [Blu-ray]

Vibrant orange sunflowers. Rippling yellow grain. Trees bursting with white bloom. “The pictures come to me as in a dream,” Vincent Van Gogh said. A dream that too often turned to life-shattering nightmare. Winner of Golden Globe® and New York Film Critics Best Actor Awards, Kirk Douglas gives a fi erce portrayal as the artist torn between the joyous inspiration of his genius and the dark desperation of his tormented mind. The obsessed Van Gogh painted the way other men breathe, driving away family and friends, including artist Paul Gauguin (1956 Best Supporting Actor Academy Award® winner Anthony Quinn). Directed by Vincente Minnelli and saturated with the hues of Van Gogh’s sea, fi eld and sky, Lust for Life captures the ecstasy of art. And the agony of one man’s life.
