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.。1933年1月,日军攻陷山海关,3月占领承德,华北抗日形势岌岌可危。上海多国势力胶着,暗流涌动。青山军校特工顾盼,与田桥洁和恋人谭仲文配合,完成恩师蒲丛的任务后,被秘密安排只身一人去完成以日本经济司司长神谷浩二为目标的暗杀任务。顾盼负伤完成使命,却遭到蒲丛陷害,身陷囹圄,绝境中被我党优秀战士魏东解救。在魏东的指引下,顾盼历经考验,进入秘密组织“蜂巢”,试图查明自己被陷害的原因。抽丝剥茧之中,真相一点点浮出水面,顾盼不仅查到深藏国民党内部的间谍组织,更一步步地接触到国民政府黑暗腐败的一面。顾盼在追求正义的过程中逐渐向红色革命靠拢,以“海马”为代号化身共产主义战士,与魏东成为搭档。最终摧毁“蜂巢”,破获日军的“暗日计划”。。本片改编自2006年挪威畅销同名小说。故事的主人公艾娃是一个“毛孩儿”,生活在20世纪初期的北欧。她因为自己的基因疾病,全身大面积被毛发覆盖。人们叫她狮子女。影片跟随她的成长经历描述了那个时代北欧的生活面貌。从参加剧团扮演丑角,到成为一个作家,狮子女艾娃慢慢学会接受自己,用自己的智慧独立生活,并最终赢得他人的尊敬。。
