| | Amazon.co.uk: Lust for Life [1956]: Video (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) |
 | | The art direction is superb, and the recreations of the places Van Gogh painted a marvel, among them the famous yellow house he lived in and its bedroom, and my favorite, the pool hall, with its hanging lamps. |
 | | Based on Irving Stone's book of the same name, Lust for Life (title borrowed for classic Iggy Pop/David Bowie album in the late 70's) is a fairly accurate biopic of the life of Vincent Van Gogh. |
 | | Lust for Life is the linking point between the early, entertaining biopics (Zola, The Story of Louis Pasteur, Night & Day) and those that digressed on art & society (Andrei Rublev, Lenny, Mishima). |
