This film, like Van Gogh's paintings are described in it, is most appealing to your senses. It's a vision, it's all consuming, There were moments that made me feel so calm, others that made me so anxious, others even made my head ache, and all of them solely because of the colours, the mise-en-scène, the juxtaposition of images, the music, the overlap of the audio, the shakiness of the camera. Technically, it's one of the most interesting, visually gorgeous and intense films I've ever watched.

I'm not usually a fan of films that get too experimental with the camera, or the editing, but in this film it worked perfectly because of its subject: Vincent Van Gogh whose mind was perturbed, and his paintings, that were some of the most beautiful art work ever created. And the way the film is made accompanies that, and him, brilliantly.

It was also a great combination of artistry and storytelling, because in the end, not only have you watched a painting in movement - because that's what this film feels like - but you actually learn so much about Vincent Van Gogh, which you don't usually get in films like these. They usually lose themselves in their attempt to make an experimental film and end up not telling you a story, but this movie does, and it does it through incredible dialogue too.

Dafoe is absolutely brilliant in it. His face is magnetic and really pulls you in.
