Movie title


I realize the title "Lust For Life" was taken from Irving Stone's book about Van Gogh. But I always thought it rather corny if not schmaltzy. A more apt title might have been: "Vincent"...or..."Van Gogh." Thoughts, anyone?

Since the movie was based on a best-selling author's book, I can see the marketing wisdom in using the book title.

Titling it "Vincent" or "Van Gogh" would be pedestrian and unimaginative. I for one appreciate a more creative, literary title.

Plus you got the title of a pretty cool Iggy Pop album out of it too.
