As Armand takes a bottle from a sleeping patron, he explains that Vincent isn't worth the effort because he was crazy. The letter was just found in Vincent's old apartment when the landlord cleaned out the apartment, and Armand disagrees with his father. Armand has been given the task of taking the letter to Theo by his father. The Lieutenant tries to give Armand the letter, but he tells him that it's not his letter, it's to be delivered to Vincent van Gogh's brother, Theo. The Lieutenant, having been told that the letter on the ground is Armand's, picks the letter up and goes inside, finding Armand looking at himself in the mirror. The Lieutenant finds out that Armand is the reason the solider is on the ground. A Lieutenant (Robin Hodges) comes up and questions the obviously drunk soldier. A man in a yellow coat, Armand Roulin (Douglas Booth), argues loudly with a soldier in a Fez hat and then hits him, cause the man to collapse on the ground. We follow the camera as it pans down a street in Arles in 1891, stopping in front of a bar as two men head outside arguing. We first see a newspaper report telling us that "one van Gogh, aged 37, Dutch painter, staying at Auvers, shot himself with a revolver in the fields, but being only wounded, returned to his room, where he died two days later." We are told that the events in this film take place one year after the death of Vincent van Gogh. Loving Vincent (2016) Photo courtesy of Loving Vincent
