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.。佩德罗-德-托罗和他的家人住在一个隐蔽的地方,一个拥有尖端技术的房子/掩体里。佩德罗想离开他用自己的财务知识帮助过的贩毒集团,这是他计划好的一切结束的夜晚。患病的10岁女孩莉娜突然来到安全屋,与此同时,一群将高科技与中世纪武器相结合的职业刺客也来到了安全屋。德托罗的家人似乎将被卡特尔屠杀,直到他发现凶手的目的:杀死无辜的女孩--这个女孩真的是一个无辜的孩子吗?。
