This explores the relationship between Vincent Van Gogh and his brother Theo, who tried to make it as an art dealer. Robert Altman's biography was originally produced as a miniseries for European television. The struggling painter fights to make his mark in the claustrophobic, 19th Century Parisian art world. The Dutch artist’s works have sold for record prices and surpassed all sales records in recent years, but ironically, the tortured Van Gogh sold only one painting in his lifetime and committed suicide at the age of 37. His little known brother, Theo, was Vincent’s only real friend, providing the moral and financial support which made all his paintings possible.

Shot on location in Holland and Provence, VINCENT AND THEO has been released in a number of formats around the world, but this four-part, 200 minute version available in the U.K. is the longest version in existence.
