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.。在发现妈妈与新男友去哥伦比亚度假后音讯全无,琼恩试图向政府单位求救却处处受阻。远在几千公里外的洛杉矶,独自一人在家的琼恩,决定运用最新的网路科技来搜寻她妈妈的下落。只不过当她拼凑众多线索后,却发现衍生的疑问越来越多,妈妈的秘密也渐渐浮上台面……。弗洛伦斯(莎拉·弗里斯蒂 Sara Forestier 饰)是一名小学教师,负责毕业班的教学。弗洛伦斯打心底里热爱教师这份职业,是一名有着崇高职业理想的老师,同样的,她的学生们也十分尊敬这位尽责尽职又和蔼可亲的老师。 在学校里,弗洛伦斯尽可能的展现了开朗活泼,乐观积极的一面。可生活中,她必须面对十分棘手的难题——独自抚养她年幼的儿子。一天,班上来了一名插班生,这名学生的到来彻底改变了弗洛伦斯的生活,以他为中心接连出现的各种问题和麻烦让弗洛伦斯焦头烂额感到渐渐支持不住。雪上加霜的是,儿子竟然提出想和父亲一起生活,面对一团乱麻的生活,弗洛伦斯只能自救。。
