Long, talky account of the last days of Van Gogh, set mainly in an idyllic small French village. As one character put it, Van Gogh may be a great painter but he is a loathsome man. His last days are spent seducing a girl half his age, going to Paris to get sloshed, visiting prostitutes, getting the young girl drunk at a house of prostitution, fighting with his brother and trying to deal with the fact that no one appreciates his paintings. His response is to commit suicide.
