Klimt / Austria / France / Germany / UK / 2006
Perhaps any comments should be very provisional on this English-language “producer’s cut” (a full 30-minutes shorter than the German-language director’s cut), but this version seems to work fine. Light years away from any conventional artist’s biopic, hardcore Ruizians should enjoy the film’s lush, opaque, meandering, at times confusing dream logic. It’s significant that the strongest character in the entire film is one that is clearly the product of the fevered imagination of the dying Klimt. Consumer warning, though: John Malkovich is at his most affected here.
