Symptoms of influenza mean the last days in the life of the Austrian painter Egon Schiele (1890-1918) seem to be played out beyond the confines of a set time and space. His stylised portraits come to live and edge him further towards death. Choreographer Stuart has transformed his images into a transparent movement language that by turns follows and ignores the music by Alexander von Zemlinsky. The rawly expressive and confrontational imagery reflects the powerful effect of Schiele’s drawings and paintings.

Load of rubbish!!
Highly Overrated But Still Good
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
