Vincent's
Final Moments, a Jack Reilly Film.
A dusty road dissects endless fields of wheat flanked by distant
trees. A flock of black birds, startled by the rattling sound
of an old paint box, dart into the sky and disappear. Tall
grass and wild flowers sway in the warm breeze that penetrates
the bright sunlight of a Summer day in the French countryside.
The sky is punctuated with wispy clouds that resemble floating
brush strokes on a pale blue canvas. At his favorite painting
site, Vincent van Gogh quietly sits before a partially finished
canvas, dipping and stirring his brush into a rich palette
of oils. Today appears not unlike any other day; the morning
walk to the fields, painting the landscape before lunch and
later capturing the warm afternoon light. However, on this
day, Vincent Van Gogh would paint for the last time.
VINCENT'S
FINAL MOMENTS enters into the psyche of Vincent van Gogh and
events that lead up to the fateful moment on July 27, 1890,
when in a state of despair and confusion, he takes the final
step towards ending his own life. Although there is speculation
as to what actually took place in the field that day, this motion
picture attempts to portray these dramatic events with historical
accuracy.
Writer/director,
Jack Reilly conducted research for the script and setting in
Auvers-sur-Oise, France, at the actual sites of van Gogh's self-inflicted
wound and eventual death. The principal movie shoot took place
in southern California on locations that strikingly resemble
the countryside surrounding the small French town.
