4月的某日,关于太阳的预言在网上被传播开来。在曾我部老板经营的位于下北泽的咖啡馆“CITY COUNTRY CITY”中兼职的演员·实日子今天也到店里上班了。曾我部老板弹着吉他,在构思着新歌,听着他的低声吟唱,实日子着手进行开店准备。这时,夏小姐偶然来到了店里。“欢迎您在这样的日子里还过来光顾。”“这样的日子?”在这个一如既往,却又有些不同往日的日子里,实日子和夏小姐就着那些至今为止在对戏时,被说过的无法忘记的台词,聊得热火朝天。而这时,偶然进店的羊子小姐也加入其中,她们间的谈话变得一发不可收拾……。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.。
