Film Shots

I read Lust for Life by Irving Stone last year and the reason I loved it had a lot to do with the way Irving Stone got into Van Gogh's mind and told us why he painted the way he did. Yes, I did cry when the book ended because it was really the story of two brothers more than anything else.

Today I stumbled upon the story of Theo Van Gogh, the great grand nephew of Van Gogh, a maverick film maker who was killed. The genius that he was he introduced something his contemporaries call the Triple Theo- where three cameras are used. One for each protagonist and one for the entire set.
