A portrait of Austrian artist Gustav Klimt (Malkovich) whose lavish, sexual paintings came to symbolize the art nouveau style of the late 19th and early 20th century.

|
"John Malkovich has virtually cornered the market on portraying aesthetes in the thrall of demonic visions.'Klimt' adds to his gallery of elegant monsters." | ||
|
|
|
"A good bio of any historical character has to have a compelling story, whether evil or good. Klimt appears to have had that story. I sure would have liked to know what it was." | ||
 |
|
"Klimt comes across as a lovely but unfathomable object" | ||
|
|
|
"Ruiz is so intent on harnessing the painter to his own -- here, rather arid -- relativism that he never manages to convey the unfettered eros that brings crowds flocking to exhibitions of Klimt's work" | ||
|
|
|
"Ruiz is terrific in evoking a heady atmosphere of ornate fin de siecle decadence, and Malkovich is ideally cast as a coolly intellectual, free-thinking, free-living aesthete" | ||
|
|
|
"Whatever its flaws may be (and, frankly, they are legion), Raoul Ruiz's latest film is a biopic that mixes and matches visual and narrative styles boldly, wildly, madly enough to invigorate the genre" | ||
|
|
|
"An easy-viewing intro to a racy episode in art history." | ||
 |
|
"The whole dream-like effect the film strives for is undermined by the poor acting." | ||
|
|
|
"A beautifully designed but ponderously executed attempt to summon up the spirit of the Austrian fin-de-sicle painter." |
