Review: We love documentaries here at the Legion.  We’re also big art fans.  I’m a freelance and exhibiting artist myself and one of my favorite classic painters is Van Gogh, so I was excited to check out this IMAX documentary.

I didn’t realize that it was going to be SO in-depth.  From the locations Van Gogh painted and existed in to the very detail of his brush strokes, this documentary goes above and beyond to give you a glimpse into the past and the world of this enigmatic artist.  It’s a phenomenal documentary and we highly, highly recommend it.
