Vincent can only paint and rage. Soft souled, black-toothed, he spends his life in a series of barren rooms, taking his work as far as it can go. Theo can only try--mostly in vain for the length of both their lives--to sell his brother's work. Theo vicariously participates in his brother's art while working, marrying, and contracting syphilis like a 'normal' bourgeoisie. The brothers became the work: one brother who painted, and the other brother who believed that to support the painting was the most important thing he could possibly do with his lifetime.MPAA rating: Rated PG-13 ; Canadian Home Video rating: 14A.DVD; Region 1, NTSC; Dolby Digital mono.; widescreen presentation, aspect ratio 1.85:1, enhanced for 16x9 televisions.
