Benedict Cumberbatch - Van Gogh Painted with Words 3 of 6

Original Air Date BBC 2 on Mon 5 Apr 2010 Drama-documentary presented by Alan Yentob, with Benedict Cumberbatch in the lead role as Van Gogh.

Every word spoken by the actors in this film is sourced from the letters that Van Gogh sent to his younger brother Theo, and of those around him. What emerges is a complex portrait of a sophisticated, civilised and yet tormented man.

This is Van Gogh's story in his own words.
