UCLA Film & Television Archive presents “Love Exists: A Maurice Pialat Retrospective.” (https://www.cinema.ucla.edu/events/2016/maurice-pialat-retrospective)

Van Gogh (France, 1991)< Directed by Maurice Pialat. Director Maurice Pialat himself abandoned painting for lack of funds but he approaches van Gogh (Jacques Dutronc) without pity, as an artist who is part of and apart from a true and bustling world. Pialat takes up his story during the last two months of van Gogh’s life. Only after the artist's suicide do we see these days as a winding down, quiet irascibility as fearsome weariness. DIR: Maurice Pialat. CAST: Jacques Dutronc, Alexandra London, Bernard Le Coq. 35mm, color, in French with English subtitles, 158 min. FREE Admission for all UCLA students with valid I.D.!
