Van Gogh - Sulla soglia dell'eternità

Willem Dafoe delivers a hauntingly intense portrayal of Vincent van Gogh in 'At Eternity's Gate,' capturing the artist's turbulent psyche and profound emotional depth with remarkable sensitivity. Unlike many of his more outwardly aggressive or villainous roles, Dafoe's performance here is introspective and vulnerable, showcasing his versatility as an actor. His embodiment of Van Gogh offers a deeply humanizing glimpse into the painter's struggles with mental illness and artistic passion. A notable trivia fact is that Dafoe spent time sketching and painting with an artist to prepare for the role, immersing himself in Van Gogh's creative process to lend authenticity to his performance.
