Independent director and painter himself, Julian Schnabel, took a lot of creative risks with At Eternity’s Gate. I think in his own way, Schnabel’s artistic choices in this film are misunderstood, just as Vincent van Gogh was. People criticize the film without realizing that it is told exactly in the style Van Gogh would have experienced. It strays away from the normalities in Hollywood, and showcases its own original techniques in order to properly embody the world through Vincent van Gogh’s eyes.
