About
Made originally as a four-hour miniseries for television and cut back for theatrical release, Vincent & Theo is about the mysterious, near-mystical interaction between Vincent and his brother Theo. Theo, an art dealer in Paris, tried for years without success to sell Vincent's art, and died not quite six months after his brother shot himself to death in a wheat field in Auvers-sur-Oise.
