Our take
Willem Dafoe followed his Best Actor prize at Venice with an Oscar® nomination for his magnificent performance as Vincent van Gogh in this impressionistic biopic. Beautifully directed by Julian Schnabel, At Eternity’s Gate is an immersive portrait, not just of the artist, but his singular worldview.
