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.。夏颜、韩爽、赵小蕾与项楠是从大学时代就认识的好闺蜜,四人在同一城市工作、生活。夏颜立志要设计出能改变人们生活方式的优质APP,故毕业后留在了IT产业聚集的大都市,凭借自身的努力拼搏,最终成为SG集团的一名项目负责人,并在经历感情的起起落落后收获了诚挚的爱情。家庭条件优越的韩爽,为了坚守自己的设计梦想,跳出父母安排的舒适圈,从时尚家具店兼职导购的工作开始独立打拼,与医生马克经过无数磨砺终成眷属。生于传统家庭的赵小蕾,在结婚前夕惨遭男友分手,在几位好友的鼓励与帮助下最终走出失恋阴影,寻回自信与自我。医生项楠看似沉稳理智,实则封闭内心,直到一场意外,让她重拾对生命的信仰。历尽波折,四个奔三女青年相互鼓励扶持,齐心协力解决彼此生活中发生的种种问题和困惑,并见证彼此的成长与蜕变。。
