Klimt (OV)
Gustav Klimt’s life story unfolds in a series of disjointed sequences in the artist’s mind as he lies dying of pneumonia in a Viennese hospital where he is visited by his friend, Egon Schiele. Themes within the film include Klimt’s platonic friendship with Emilie Floege. Much of the film is centred on Klimt’s relationship with Lea de Castro, a dancer to whom he is introduced by the film pioneer Georges Méliès.
