Klimt

Gustav Klimt lived his life like he painted it - full of intensity, sensuality and passion. In this biographical fantasy by acclaimed director Raul Ruiz (Time Regained), Klimt (John Malkovich) recaks the decadence of his past in feverish visions from his deathbed. Reflecting on his many torrid affairs and his struggles for artistic freedom, he travels back to the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris. There, Klimt is introduced to a mysterious dancer, Led de Castro (Saffron Burrows), who emerges as his must and the personification of his own erotic ideals and carnal desires.
