"At Eternity's Gate"  Feb 12-16

Beethoven and Van Gogh had more in common than problematic ears.

To a critic who described his dissonant late string quartets as “not music,” the composer responded: “Oh, they are not for you, but for a later age.” Confronted by similar dismissals, Van Gogh says, “Maybe God made me a painter for people who are not born yet.”


A great artist considered not so great at the time is the subject of Julian Schnabel’s “At Eternity’s Gate,” less a biopic than a psycho-artistic essay on insanity and genius.


Schnabel’s version of the Van Gogh story begins late in his short life with his move from gray Holland to picturesque Arles, France, where impoverished post-impressionists like himself, Paul Gauguin and Toulouse Lautrec gather in the local watering hole and argue about forming an artistic collective to support themselves.
