:拍卖会上,文森特·凡高(蒂姆·罗斯 Tim Roth 饰)的名作《向日葵》的标价逐渐增高,最后固定在一个天文数字上。在世人热烈追捧凡高的艺术时,有谁会想到提奥(保罗·里斯 Paul Rhys 饰)这样一个名字呢?本片讲述了凡高与他的弟弟提奥之间的故事。凡高一生为贫穷所困,画入心魔的他为了坚持自己的艺术,不得不靠着弟弟提奥的救济。在凡高看来,他只能把自己献给画布和色彩,其它的生活烦扰应该由弟弟来解决,因为他把自己的作品全部给了提奥。提奥热爱和尊敬哥哥的艺术,虽然自己也并不是很富裕,但是他心甘情愿地去支援哥哥,在凡高每次遇到经济问题,甚至情感问题,他都会及时给予无私的帮助。可以说,没有提奥,这世上根本也不会有凡高。凡高生前只卖出过一副画,他死于对绘画的癫狂,对提奥的愧疚。凡高自杀后,伤心绝望的提奥很快也撒手人寰。兄弟俩都不曾有机会来享受天价凡高艺术所带来的成就,只能留待世人传颂。

:A most pleasingly atmospheric rendition of the tale, noirishly photographed and moodily set, this is the version which probably would have delighted Conan Doyle the most. There is one important plot change which enables the beautiful Alice Brandt to enjoy both a larger role and a more intriguing part in the proceedings. This change also builds up the parts of Dr Mortimer and Lord Charles, yet at the same time provides a nice introduction to the is-he-sinister or is-he-a-good-guy Barrymore, deftly played here by Fritz Rasp.Despite the sting of its well-developed story, the spellbindingly atmospheric direction and the engrossing performances delivered by the entire cast, many fans may find this version somewhat disappointing. For at least three reasons: As in the novel, the part played in the narrative by Sherlock Holmes, though vital, is minimal. And in this version, not only has no attempt been made to enlarge his role, if anything both writer and director do their best to minimize it. Holmes does not even make his entrance for half-an-hour, and when he does finally appear, he has his back to the camera. It is Fritz Odemar, as Dr Watson, who receives the more favorable camera angles. And there is a purpose in this. It is Watson, not Holmes, who figures as the main protagonist of The Hound of the Baskervilles. For the bulk of the narrative, Holmes disappears. It is Watson and Lord Henry (Peter Voss) who take up the running. The movie is almost over, before Holmes closes in on the villain. And even so, this is not the obsessed, self-important Holmes we are accustomed to see taking charge. Another problem is that the title hound itself does not figure a great deal in the action, a downgrading which will undoubtedly rate as another major disappointment for fans. And finally, it could be argued that the script gives too much attention to Conan Doyle's red herring, the escaped convict, and not enough to the real villain.This said, it must surely be admitted by all, that Odemar's interpretation of Watson—intelligent, charming, level-headed, courageous and resourceful—is much closer to Conan Doyle's conception than either the bungling, inveterately stupid Nigel Bruce or the self-effacing Ian Fleming.One other player deserves special mention: Erich Ponto (Dr Winkel in The Third Man) who seems exactly right for Stapleton. A difficult part, superbly played.- JohnHowardReid, imdb
