Corridor in Saint-Paul Hospital, an 1889 sketch made with oil and chalk on paper by Vincent van Gogh 

“Before Franz Kafka ever wrote a word, this painting earned the epithet kafkaesque. It is a world of endless labyrinthine passages, the architectural incarnation of monotonous and perpetual repetition. There is a figure in brown darting across the corridor, in flight from the threat of confinement. Added afterwards, the figure is not necessarily one of the wretched inmates of the asylum; rather, it is one of those restless figures that so often people van Gogh’s scenes.”

—from Van Gogh: The Complete Paintings, by Ingo Walther and Rainer Metzger

Vincente Minnelli’s Lust for Life from 1956 starring Kirk Douglas. Based on Irving Stone’s book of the same title, which is really good. But, I’ve also read Dear Theo: The Autobiography of Vincent Van Gogh a few times over.
