Klimt, the film


The film starts with the syphilitic artist on his death bed, with his only visitor Egon Schiele (Kinski) - a fellow painter and protégé. Two-way mirrors allow us to visit Klimt's past, while Schiele hallucinates. The film throws us back to the Golden Age of Europe - Klimt on the verge of winning the gold medal at the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris. Too much abstract argument, but nice long-legged German girls.

The one on the right is not a German girl.

As for me, there is not enough information to agree or to disagree with your observation. Is she at least long legged enough?
