Lust for Life

Kirk Douglas offers one of his finest performances, starring as Dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh in this masterfully rendered filming of the tortured genius' life. The film chronicles Van Gogh's failed careers as a preacher and coal miner, his disastrous relationships with women, his bout with mental illness, and a passion for art that all but consumes him. With James Donald, Pamela Brown, and Oscar-winner Anthony Quinn as Van Gogh's colleague and friend Paul Gauguin. 122 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks: English DTS HD 5.1 Master Audio, French Dolby Digital mono, Spanish Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English (SDH), French, Spanish; audio commentary; featurettes; theatrical trailer.
