Herbert Vesely was one of the promises for a new German cinema already in the 50's, but after the 60's his star was already dimmed. He made a small number of films in the 70's and 80's, all non too good. This biography of Egon Schiele, one of the most important Austrian artists, is an example of the pretensions and emptiness of a Vesely-film of later date.
The life of Schiele is presented here as a puzzle| well, Vesely thinks that Schiele's life was a puzzle: the core of the story is centered around the famous 1912 pornography trial and using this as base the film shows fragments of past and future. The problem is that it never becomes a unity and that the order of scenes and sequences seems to be at random: a cut-and-paste job that could have had any other result. Indeed, after seeing it twice I am almost convinced of it that a unsatisfactory linear thought-out film was changed into the puzzle in the editing room. Egon Schiele was an enigmatic man, but not a total puzzle, and this film does not bring him any closer.
The films also fails in conveying the eroticism and meaning of the Schiele's paintings: the camera watches and glides over the models without any understanding of Schiele's intentions, we only see beautiful naked bodies. If interested in Schiele, you better buy a book with his works in stead.。星星狐拥有很多的梦想,每天都要让魔法妈妈讲关于梦想的故事,星星狐每天都有不同的梦想,都想去体验,魔法妈妈的魔法书里都能满足他的愿望。。不靠谱神探“满天飞”PK嫌疑人天团!倾国倾城的一代名伶被暗枪杀害!头七之夜,私家侦探满天飞和众位嫌疑人被劫持在一家戏院。号称“疯子”的神秘花脸带手下将他们团团围住,强迫满探长必须在四小时内查明真凶,否则,就将现场所有人杀死,祭献美人亡魂!倒计时开始!人人都有秘密,人人都在演戏,神仙斗法,密室寻凶!谜底中藏着谜底,反转后再度反转,爆笑中引发惊悚,一层层谎言,将真相逐渐揭开。。
