                         THE STORY                                
    A haunting and hallucinatory drama about the making of art, INVENTING VAN GOGH  is the story of the final van Gogh self-portrait, painted just before the artist's death, which has never been seen…until now. Patrick Stone, a contemporary painter, is hired to forge this final masterpiece—and finds himself squaring off, across the years, with van Gogh himself. The result is a compelling mystery about the obsession to create and the fine line that separates truth from myth.

"Inventing Van Gogh" contains adult language and situations.  It is not recommended for children.
