    Despite John Malkovich's brilliance in acting this movie was boring as hell. I will keep on admiring Klimt's work without thinking about this movie.

    Very odd, surreal film about the life of the Austrian painter Gustav Klimt. It doesn't make a lot of sense, but it's interesting nonetheless.

    While I'm always interested to see biopics, trying to make a movie more artistic than the artist never works very well.

    well...the movie had an action line, but i couldn't reach it and every god damned character was rotating and was making me go nuts!

    point taken. do all artists get to have such a life?
    I wish I was more informed about his life. I would've watched the movie anyway, but it is sometimes disappointing that the movie is focused just on a certain period of his life. However, Malkovich is a big woah! A positive on...( read more)e. He always is.

    Only because I'm interested in Klimt and Malkovich. The reviews I've seen scare me.

    I love John Malkovich. I love the art of Gustav Klimt. You know, there have been some truly great artist-films, Amadeus, Carravaggio, Pollock, hell there's even been a number of really artistically thrown together miasmas from artist-director Peter Greenaway. This, this cinematic...( read more) abomination, shot in too many languages, with too many 'fucking things in the way of each element of the shot's composition' and just talking, talking, talking ... and coach rides. I mean COME ON, do something, move me, make me care. It's a basic rule of cinema!

    Useless film, horribly dour.
