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.。民国初年某小城,两个难产孕妇在医院遭遇了截然不同的命运,引发了一系列严重后果。由于女婴舒曼出生的同时伴随了母亲的痛苦和人力车夫杜家三口死亡的悲剧,从小被人称为“祸星”。长大后的舒曼却浑身充满了善良和爱心,她一心要化解舒林两大家族的恩恩怨怨,却屡次被卷入家庭争议;她感受了林然、林长风、叶冠语三个不同身世男人的爱,却再三陷入痛苦。舒曼成长为一个性格坚强、能以家国事业为重的新女性。“九一八”事变日本入侵东三省,国家前途和家族产业都面临严重威胁,小城也掀起抵制日货风潮。舒、林两家在民族大义面前,终于放下多年的误解,联手振兴民族产业。。洛云溪提前回国撞破男友与私生女妹妹的奸情,并发现公司被骗走。伤心之际与走错桌的霍北城闪婚。醉酒诉苦后,霍北城暗中买回公司。庆功宴上,洛云溪与妹妹争执被保安刁难,霍北城现身解围,她才发现丈夫竟是首富。。
