Van Gogh (1990)
Linus Roache stars as troubled painter Vincent van Gogh in this drama from the BBC’s Omnibus series. Struggling to make ends meet first as an art dealer, then as a missionary in a coal mine, van Gogh was tormented by elusive love and madness. After notoriously cutting off his ear and spending a year in an asylum, we see the artists struggles and passions throughout his life.
