Le Musterieux Paul
At seventy-one, Paul's knife swallowing days appear to be numbered; an injury to his oesophagus injury has halted his public performances and raised concern among his family. In private, to keep up his spirits, he continues to practice his routine before a mirror.
Rated 7.3 on TMDB
A drama-documentary presented by Alan Yentob, with Benedict Cumberbatch in the lead role. Every word spoken by the actors in this film is sourced from the letters that Van Gogh sent to his younger brother Theo, and of those around him. What emerges is a complex portrait of a sophisticated, civilised and yet tormented man.
