AT ETERNITY'S GATEDir. Julian Schnabel | France, UK | 2018 | 110 mins
starring Willem Dafoe, Rupert Friend, Mads Mikkelsen
At Eternity’s Gate is a journey inside the world and mind of a person who, despite scepticism, ridicule and illness, created some of the world’s most beloved and stunning works of art – Vincent van Gogh. This is not a forensic biography, but rather scenes from his final years in Arles, based on letters, common agreement about events in his life that present as facts, hearsay, and moments that are just plain invented.

★★★★★
‘By adamantly focusing above all else on van Gogh’s work – and its transporting ecstasies – Schnabel has made not just an exquisite film but an argument for art.’ — Manohla Dargis, New York Times
★★★★★
‘Dafoe’s work, the look in his searching, despairing eyes, feels beyond conventional acting, using intuition as well as technique to go deeply into the character, putting us in van Gogh’s presence.’ — Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
