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.。不按牌理出牌的刑警朱坡,是破案王、也是品味卓绝的美食家;生无可恋的完美杀手黎子东,则将每道食物都视为人生最后一餐,极其讲究;菜鸟警察吴薇,外表瘦弱、个性直爽,却深藏不为人知的秘密。某个冬夜,朱坡、黎子东在一家热门餐厅被迫并桌,懂吃的两人对美食各有坚持,暗中较劲又暗地里互相欣赏,还随着吴薇的加入激起更强烈的火花,结下同桌共餐的奇妙情谊。三人的命运因美食紧紧牵系,随着最后一顿饭的落幕,残酷的真相也随之揭晓。 全剧以电影规格制作,融合警匪、美食、爱情、亲情等多元类型,既有警匪动作的刺激快感,也有美食带来的疗愈感受,反差却不冲突,打造台剧新视野。随着台湾美食倾巢而出贯穿全剧,傅孟柏、王柏杰、简嫚书等豪华演员阵容同台飙戏,丰富的视觉与味觉飨宴,打造充满香味的感官新乐园。。
