Product Description

Vibrant orange sunflowers. Rippling yellow grain. Trees bursting with white bloom. “The pictures come to me as in a dream,” Vincent Van Gogh said. A dream that too often turned to life-shattering nightmare. Winner of Golden Globe® and New York Film Critics Best Actor Awards, Kirk Douglas gives a fi erce portrayal as the artist torn between the joyous inspiration of his genius and the dark desperation of his tormented mind. The obsessed Van Gogh painted the way other men breathe, driving away family and friends, including artist Paul Gauguin (1956 Best Supporting Actor Academy Award® winner Anthony Quinn). Directed by Vincente Minnelli and saturated with the hues of Van Gogh’s sea, fi eld and sky, Lust for Life captures the ecstasy of art. And the agony of one man’s life.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A great film about Van Gogh
    Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2006
    Verified Purchase
    Lust for Life based on Irving Stone's novel about Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) was filmed in 1956 and directed by Vincente Minnelli. Kirk Douglas as Vincent crackles with intensity. He won a Golden Globe award for his portrayal; depicting Van Gogh's artistic growth, deep loneliness and inevitable descent into madness with sensitivity and pathos. It is a moving performance that, along with Spartacus and Paths of Glory, is one of his best. Anthony Quinn as Paul Gauguin won a Best Supporting Actor Academy Award. James Donald is especially touching as Vincent's loving Brother Theo. The film features a powerful and poignant musical score by the great film and Classical Music composer Miklos Rozsa, composer of music for Ben-Hur, Double Indemnity, Ivanhoe and The Lost Weekend amongst many others. This film is, along with John Huston's Moulin Rouge made in 1952 about the life of Toulouse-Latrec, one of my favorite Hollywood films about an artist.

    As soon as the titles appear on this recently released DVD you are aware of the superb transfer to disc. Written with Van Gogh's trademark thick impasto technique, they leap off the screen with 3-dimensional brilliance, breathtakingly alive. This is important because the film contains dozens of Van Gogh's most famous art works, all filmed from the originals in the possession of private collectors and museums. With their thick swirls of color and movement, the images are stunningly beautiful; making the DVD of the film a living art gallery. This was worth the price of the DVD for me. I wish there was some way each one of the paintings could have been bookmarked on the DVD to make them easier to find. Alas no. However, the other more disappointing aspect of this DVD release is that it does not contain the 30 minute long "Making of" documentary that often followed the showing of this film on Turner Classic Movies. This fine documentary showed how modern locations in Holland, Belgium and France were painstakingly converted into the late 19th Century locations actually painted by Van Gogh. It also showed how Kirk Douglas developed his characterization. It featured the process by which extras were chosen amongst local townspeople, including one old French woman who had actually known Van Gogh, had seen him paint and remarked upon Douglas' uncanny resemblance to the painter. It is a wonderful little film and its absence from this DVD is inexplicable. There is certainly room for it. The only extras are a 3 minute trailer and a fine commentary by Dr. Drew Casper, a film historian who gives a deeper, more academic analysis of the film than is usual for a commercial release not on Criterion or Kino. This was a missed opportunity by Turner Entertainment that makes no sense and is deeply disappointing.

    The film is in color shot in widescreen with an aspect ratio of 2.35:1 enhanced for widescreen TVs. It looks beautiful, almost 3-dimensionally vivid. It is 122 minutes in length. Sound is offered in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround and sounds glorious. Miklos Rozsa's music sounds especially alive. Languages for menus are English and French. Subtitles are in English, French and Spanish. The region code is NTSC 1.

    This is a film definitely worth getting for its beauty and its excellence. Its lack of appropriate extras is disappointing but that is tempered by gratitude for finally having this wonderful, deeply moving film available on DVD. I strongly recommend this DVD release for that fact alone.

    5.0 out of 5 stars WARNER'S BRINGS NEW LIFE TO VAN GOGH WITH "LUST FOR LIFE" FINALLY ON BLU-RAY
    Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    When producer John Houseman and director Vincente Minnelli got together to bring Irving Stone's best seller "Lust for Life" to the big screen in 1956 they spared no expense in their quest to show the life of Vincent Van Gogh, the post Impressionist Dutch painter, to a whole new audience. MGM made the film into a big Cinemascope production and cast Kirk Douglas in the title role. Warner's has finally released the film on Blu-ray and the results are outstanding to say the least. This new Blu-ray is a big improvement over the 2006 standard DVD with colors being not only brighter, but rich and deeper too. The cinematography by the great Freddie Young ("Lawrence of Arabia", "Doctor Zhivago", "Ryan's Daughter") and Russell Harlan is given new life on Blu-ray(Bitrate: 27.92) and the richness of Van Gogh's paintings is front and center with colors just popping off the screen. Since it was filmed in Cinemascope(Aspect ratio: 2.35:1) there is some movement within the frame during some of the long shots, but overall this is a very pleasing viewing experience that should delight fans of the film. There are no vertical lines, white specks, torn or damage frames and one only has to view the documentary included with the special features to see the difference in the colors. Director Vincente Minnelli filmed at the actual locations that Van Gogh lived and worked and this is where Freddie Young's cinematography is really on display. During his short lifetime, Vincent Van Gogh created over 2,100 works of art and many of the most famous of these are used in the film. The honesty of Van Gogh's paintings and colors are really on display with yellows, blues, reds, greens and whites looking exceptional on Blu-ray. As for the acting, Kirk Douglas gives probably his greatest performance as the tortured artist bringing his acting talents to full measure during Van Gogh's descent into mental illness. Anthony Quinn gives great support in his role as painter Paul Gauguin which won him an Oscar. "Lust for Life" is 122 minutes and contains the following subtitles: English SDH, French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese and Czech. The Audio: English DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and Dolby Digital for the following: French, German, Spanish and Portuguese. Special features include a commentary by film historian Drew Casper and a documentary "Van Gogh: Darkness into Light" about the making of the film.(Please note that the Blu-ray disc itself is housed in an eco-cutout case so you may want to switch to a more study and solid Blu-ray case for added protection). "Lust for Life" is an excellent film on the tragic life of one of the greatest painters in the history of art and Warner's new Blu-ray has given it a whole new life on Blu-ray. It comes highly recommended.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful performance by Mr. Douglas.
    Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    This 1956 movie is an earnest attempt to provide a biography of the sensational artist, Vincent Van Gogh, highlighting the psychological turmoil that eventually caused him to take his own life. Kirk Douglas gives one of the finest performances of his career, absorbing his character to the fullest. The color photography, which includes countless Van Gogh paintings, is worth the price of the disc alone. My only reservation was that despite being a Blu Ray, there are a number of scenes which do not appear to be properly focused, but I suspect this may have been present in the print due to defective photography. This would be most surprising, given what I believe was one of the greatest Directors of Photography in the history of film- Freddie Young. I also detected the uneven anamorphic effect early Cinemascope lenses caused across the field of view, and that defect is clearly visible when the camera is panned across a scene. This problem is separate from the focus issue, but these are minor quibbles. The acting overall is very convincing under the sure hand of Vicente Minelli. A most worthy purchase at a bargain price.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Lusty Vincent but is it him?
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 28, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    Director Vincent Minnelli's 1956 film of Van Gogh is probably how many people imagine him; together with Don MacLean's wonderfully evocative "Starry Starry Night" and the stories of Vincent cutting off his ear to give the prostitute portrayed well in the film, that is Vincent for many people. Indeed both Kirk Douglas and Anthony Quinn look remarkable like the characters they play.

    Although this is not the place or time to consider them, and despite the great similarities, they were not entirely like this. Vincent was highly-intelligent, multi-lingual and someone who considered his paintings carefully, albeit with a lustiness and enthusiasm.

    Unfortunately, the yellow house in which they lived was demolished many years ago and there is virtually nothing in Arles by which to remember him, except being surrounded by images which remind one of his paintings. It is fascinating to consider that Van Gogh features five time in the most expensive painting list and his "Portrait of Dr. Gachet" is the fourth most expensive painting ever sold - $82.5 million in 1990 ($144 million today).

    Buy "Lust for Life", enjoy it and meet some facets of Vincent.
