Van Gogh filmmaker

Een jaar later krijgt het werk van Van Gogh bijzondere aandacht hier in the States. Drie van zijn films nl. 06, Blind Date en Interview, gaan opnieuw verfilmd worden. In de NY Times wordt het volgende gezegd en geciteerd (door producent Gijs van de Westelaken, actrice Tara Elders en scenarioschrijver David Schechter) over zijn stijl:

• the touchstone in van Gogh's work was more often frank sexuality, seen as a battleground between men and women.
• "What he wanted to make was what he often compared to nails on a blackboard - the nasty sound that opens up to something."
  
• "One of the challenges for me in adapting these scripts, is that the former films were made so quickly. I mean, they had this raw, emotional energy and great acting, but there were lapses in logic because they were done so quickly. And American audiences don't have patience for that. We want things to make sense."
• "He didn't like the Dutch film industry, and it didn't like him. The way he made films with three cameras and would win prizes while others felt he was ruining the film industry."
• "He was not waiting for government subsidies." Van Gogh would utter an expletive instead and say: "Film it now. Low budget buys you freedom."
