So, 'From Vincent's House in the Borinage' is an intriguing documentary that takes us deep into Van Gogh's world. The film opens with a reading of a letter to his brother Theo; it sets this contemplative tone that's hard to shake off. As you watch, you really feel the atmosphere of the Borinage - it's almost like you can breathe in the same air he did. The pacing is quite thoughtful, not rushing through his life but rather allowing you to live in those moments of doubt and rediscovery. What stands out is how it captures the essence of a pivotal time for Van Gogh, when he strayed from faith and reconnected with his passion for painting. There’s a raw authenticity here that feels very genuine. It’s less about the grandeur of his art and more about the man behind it.
