Summary

"Klimt" is a 2006 Austrian biographical film about the life of the Austrian Symbolist painter Gustav Klimt. The film was written and directed by Chilean filmmaker Raúl Ruiz and starred John Malkovich as Gustav Klimt.

The film has both a 130-minute-long director’s cut and a shortened 96-minute-long producer’s cut, and the two versions were shown at the 2006 Berlin Film Festival. A few months later, the film was also shown at the 28th Moscow International Film Festival, where it was nominated for two awards, winning the Russian Film Clubs Federation Award.

In this film, Gustav Klimt tells his stories in mind when his friend Egon Schiele visits the hospital in Vienna, where he lies dying of pneumonia. The film includes the platonic friendship between Emilie Floege and Klimt, but much of it focuses on the relationship between Klimt and Lea de Castro, a dancer introduced by the film's pioneer Georges Méliès.
