Emmanuelle Seigner

A creepy look at the borderline personalities on both sides of the line between celebrity and citizen.

Qualifies as a masterpiece of sensual cinema and poetic subjectivity.

Curiously and effectively weds the unlikely adventure of a thriller to the plodding realism of daily life...

Inviting photography and a relentless pace complement Claude's unfolding narrative, but the big thrills are in the deftly drawn characters...and the incisive satire...

Memorable moments come from its series of penetrating philosophical conversations... Dafoe expertly plays the keenness of Van Gogh's intellect and creativity against his searing drive, his raw emotions, and the haunting that was his depression.
