Van Gogh & Japan
RELEASES 3 AUGUST
If you’re in the mood for something more mentally
stimulating than Paw Patrol, hire a babysitter and
enjoy dinner and a show with your partner. This film
is based on the exhibition Van Gogh & Japan, which
demonstrates the profound influence Japan and her
culture had on the artist and his work. The film travels
to France, the Netherlands and Japan to explore the
remarkable heritage that made him the artist we know
today. It also offers deep insight, and exclusive behind-
the-screens footage of exhibitions, while weaving
in lesser-known life stories of legendary artists.
