Production
In May 2017, Schnabel announced that he will direct a film about the painter Vincent Van Gogh, with William Dafoe cast in the role. The film was written by Schnabel and French screenwriter Jean-Claude Carrière. In regards to the story, Schnabel said:
"This is a film about painting and a painter and their relationship to infinity. It is told by a painter. It contains what I felt were essential moments in his life; this is not the official history - it's my version. One that I hope could make you closer to him."
The film was shot on location in Arles, Bouches-du-Rhône and Auvers-sur-Oise, France, all locations where Van Gogh lived during his final years.
