Mad men

Vincent & Theo

(1990)
Tim Roth's Vincent van Gogh wears a constant expression that gives no clue what he'll do next, except that it seems unlikely not to be disastrous, which may explain why his brother, as played by Paul Rhys, wears a constant expression suggesting that he has no clue what might be coming next, except that he seems certain that it will be disastrous. A very un-Altmanesque film from Altman, about mad brothers, conjoined at the heart.

One of the gutsiest films of all time.
