John Malkovich has virtually cornered the market on portraying aesthetes in the thrall of demonic visions. Klimt adds to his gallery of elegant monsters.

Top CriticA good bio of any historical character has to have a compelling story, whether evil or good. Klimt appears to have had that story. I sure would have liked to know what it was.

Top CriticRuiz is terrific in evoking a heady atmosphere of ornate fin de siecle decadence, and Malkovich is ideally cast as a coolly intellectual, free-thinking, free-living aesthete...

Top Critic[It's] an eyeful.
08/30/07
Top CriticKlimt comes across as a lovely but unfathomable object, and an inadvertent case study in the argument for the ultimate integrity of Klimt's art.
08/10/07
Top CriticWhatever its flaws may be (and, frankly, they are legion), Raoul Ruiz's latest film is a biopic that mixes and matches visual and narrative styles boldly, wildly, madly enough to invigorate the genre, but not enough to save the movie.
08/10/07
Top CriticAn easy-viewing intro to a racy episode in art history.
06/22/07
Top CriticKlimt falls into the philosophical conundrum it attempts to resurrect -- whether portrait and allegory can coexist.
