Co-written and directed by Julian Schnabel, At Eternity’s Gate is a journey inside the world and mind of Vincent van Gogh, played by Willem Dafoe.

Gogh is a person who, despite skepticism, ridicule and emotional turmoil, created some of the world’s most beloved and stunning works of art.

The movie is not Gogh’s life story but rather vignettes based on Vincent van Gogh’s letters, common agreement about events in his life that present as facts, rumors, and moments that are just plain invented.

Dafoe is meant to play the brilliant but troubled artist. Rounding out the cast are Mads Mikkelsen, Emmanuelle Seigner, Amira Casar, Niels Arestrup, and Oscar Isaac.

The two movie clips get under my skin. I am interested in the movie and look forward to seeing it.

Schnabel other directing talents include The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Before Night Falls, and Basquiat.

The two movie clips show how the movie is formulated, and it more of a revelation than a linear story.  The camera work is amazing. I have an interview with the cinematographer on my YouTube Channel.

Here is the second poster, which is not all that different but the first poster. The cast list is larger and on the left side of the poster instead of almost centered.  Quotes from reviewers or critics are included as well.

The second trailer shows the magnificent cinematography by Benoît Delhomme, who also shot The Theory of Everything.

The screenplay is co-written by Jean-Claude Carriere, who won an Oscar in 1963 for Best Short Subject, Live Action Subjects sharing it with Pierre Etaix.  He also won a BAFTA for Best Screenplay – Adapted for The Unbearable Lightness of Being shared with Philip Kaufman in 1989.
