Van Gogh Again

Movie

Starring Andrey Smolyakov, Evgeny Mironov, Evdokiya Germanova, Marina Salakova

I was reminded of people who were not exactly "healthy" according to everyday logic, but were nevertheless genius: Vrubel, Fedotov, Van Gogh. And always—Dostoevsky. Who would have benefited if all these great artists had been healthy? Illness caused them a great deal of suffering, but, when expressed through their creativity, it still brought about such stunning results. So, here it is entirely appropriate to ask: is it necessary to cure them? - Valeriy Fokin.
