At Eternity's Gate

OSCAR nomination - actor in a leading role (Willem Dafoe)

Painter, musician, poet, artist, intellectual Julian Schnabel directs rarely and always collaborates with his closest friends. Inspired after visiting the Musée d’Orsay’s exhibition „Van Gogh/Artaud. The Man Suicided by Society” he tried to write Van Gogh’s real thoughts and responses to fateful events in uneasy life. He borrowed the name of one of Van Gogh’s final paintings for film title and went to shoot on actual locations (Arles and Auvers-sur-Oise).
