VIDEO : Willem Dafoe Paints Life As Vincent van Gogh In 'At Eternity's Gate'

Willem Dafoe brings Vincent van Gogh to life in the trailer for the new biopic "At Eternity's Gate". The Julian Schnabel directed film is premeiring at the Venice Film festival September 8 and already has the cinema and art world buzzing. The film while not particularly concerned with historical accuracy strives to create a post-impressionist portrait of the troubled painter and his life. According to ScreenRant, the 'At Eternity's Gate' synopsis acknowledges the biopic is partly based on "moments that are just plain invented", in addition to van Gogh's letters, "hearsay", and events that most art historians agree actually took place.
