DVD Reviews of Lust for Life
DVD Review: 3 stars out of 4
Summary: 3 Stars
The Bottom Line:
Lust for Life is really rather slow, but if you're into Van Gogh or art you'll probably be pleased with this nuanced biopic that occasionally hits the wrong note (or, in the case of Miklos Rozsa's thudding score, the wrong note over and over again) but leaves the viewer with a fairly good idea of the man's life.
DVD Review: Accurate account of Van Gogh's life
Summary: 5 Stars
THis movie is a great representation of Vincent van Gogh's life. It is interesting and tasteful. Great for art history classes or if you are just interested in van Gogh! It shows a lot of his original work loaned out from museums for the making of the movie!DVD Review: Lust for Life DVD

Description of Lust for Life
Vincent van gogh is the archetypical tortured artistic genius. His obsession with painting combined with mental illness propels him through an unhappy life full of failures and unrewarding relationships. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 01/31/2006 Starring: Kirk Douglas James Donald Run time: 122 minutes Rating: Nr Director: Vincente MinnelliLust for Life is appropriately titled, for mere passion seems inadequate when describing this superb fictionalized biography (based on Irving Stone's popular novel) of Vincent Van Gogh. In a deservedly Oscar?- nominated performance, Kirk Douglas is physically and emotionally perfect as the tormented Dutch painter, whose life is chronicled from his ill-fated stint as a preacher to Belgian miners in 1878, to his Impressionist-inspired artistic awakening and psychological descent to suicide in 1890. Having triumphed with 1952's The Bad and the Beautiful, Douglas, producer John Houseman, and director Vincente Minnelli brought vigor and vitality to this blessed project, which centers on Van Gogh's stormy friendship with fellow artist Gaugin (Oscar-winner Anthony Quinn). Minnelli used an outmoded color film process and innovative camera techniques to vividly recreate Van Gogh's paintings, and he filmed on the actual Dutch and French locations where Van Gogh's mastery flourished. The artist's lust for life also fed his madness, and this film deeply understands the fine line in between. --Jeff Shannon
