“The comparison between the painted and celluloid-caught landscapes becomes truly breathtaking in IMAX...." -- Ronnie Scheib, Variety

“[Van Gogh] provides the visceral thrill of seeing numerous masterworks by a painter in visually dazzling fashion…stunning….” -- Frank Scheck, The Hollywood Reporter

Opening at the Kramer IMAX Theatre in February, this film retraces Vincent van Gogh's footsteps, leading us through the painter’s subject matter and sources of inspiration. From the Netherlands, to Arles, to Saint Rémy and Auvers-sur-Oise, we rediscover the places and landscapes that have inspired some of the most essential works in art history. From the dazzling yellow of the cornfields to the deep blue of the sky, the entire palette of one of our most flamboyant painters explodes to light up the giant screen.

We are thrown into a unique visual experience where the paintings spring to life before our eyes, so near us that we can feel the painter’s energy, the wind in the branches of a cypress, the dazzling Southern sun.

Dive into the heart of van Gogh’s paintings. For the first time, discover in IMAX the fantastic colour and passionate brushwork of a great genius as they take on a new life before our eyes. Relive Vincent’s life journey through his letters, see the places that inspired him, and the paintings.

We will meet Vincent. During this journey he will join us, reacting to the pictures, telling us what his opinion is today. He will be looking at Peter Knapp, a man who is working today on a documentary about Van Gogh’s techniques, and at Ellen, a researcher in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. She is studying his notebooks and letters. They give evidence of the fire and passion of a man who painted as he loved, who loved as he painted. And Vincent, as if he were seated next to us, will tell us the truth about his works and life. This is a chance to discover a Van Gogh we’ve never seen before: serene and radiating with love of life.

This passionate voyage, this new closeness to van Gogh – the masterpieces and the man – open up a world of unexpected, intense emotions on the giant screen. The film offers us the unique joy of seeing and getting to know, with ever increasing admiration, the man whose energy and freedom are intrinsically bound to the great beauty of his work.
