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.。爱沙尼亚木偶动画,Morten是一个10岁的梦想家。他的父亲在海上航行至沙拉曼德。照顾Morten的Anna阿姨是个烦人又精明的女人。Morten用玩具船和虫子一起玩过家家游戏。 有一天,Morten神奇地缩小了,然后在他的在他的玩具船上苏醒过来——虽然他很激动能成为一名真正的船长,但是这些虫子和他一样大,Morten与这个“真实世界”里的成年人出奇地相似……暴风雨来了,而玩具船正在下沉。Morten必须拯救这艘船并返回到现实世界……。士兵内森被死神雇佣,拍摄濒死的影子。他一直渴望重返人间,因为他在死前爱上了一个女孩。可是,他必须拍下一万个影子才能获得重生。在一次拍摄途中,内森故地重游,却发现女孩另有所爱。嫉妒的阴云笼罩在他的心头,为了得到心爱的女孩,内森做出了一个决定…… 本片荣获2013年欧洲电影奖最佳欧洲短片奖,并提名奥斯卡最佳真人动作短片。由于对生与死之间界限的深刻探讨,该片又在众多短片电影节上荣获大奖,包括洛杉矶短片电影节最佳影片奖、西班牙的最佳欧洲影片奖和法国的观众选择奖。 本片的男主演马提亚斯•修奈尔曾与法国著名女影星玛丽昂•歌迪亚共同出演影片《锈与骨》,获得了凯撒奖最具发展潜力奖,并在戛纳电影节上赢得了观众长达10分钟的掌声。。
