Reviews

  • Randomly arranged stations from the life of the Austrian artist who died in 1918, conjuring scandals with his misunderstood remaining work and his life. From the art historical references and the importance Schiele we learn next to nothing. For this, the film focuses on the bodies of the models. - Encyclopedia of the International film
  • The loose scenes and juxtapositions are the work of Schiele never meet. The boredom is greater than Carriere good game. - Gong
