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.。400年前,沃克家唯一的一个孩子从海盗“辛格兄弟会”的屠刀之下死里逃生,并意外获得了一件刀枪不入的战衣,从此,专门惩奸除恶的“幻影侠”诞生了。一晃眼已是二十一世纪,克里斯(莱安·卡勒斯 Ryan Carnes 饰)是沃克家的第二十一代传人,为了躲避辛格兄弟会的追杀,他不得不离开了家乡,跟随养父母来到了美国。
