It is not Sunflowers 1889. It's not Albert Namatjira.

The painting is shown at 1:05:42 in the movie on YouTube. It isn't Sunflowers by Van Gogh and it doesn't appear to be one of Albert Namatjira's either. I can't answer what painting it is.

Best semi-educated guess is that it's a Flemish or Dutch Still Life - Artist Unknown...
