Review: 'Klimt' (2006)

Incoherent, diminishing in coherence over almost two hours.

I suppose it was fairly pretty, and an interesting view of emerging modernity in fashions, but not recommended, I'm afraid.

One point which might help to know beforehand – I'd have approached it differently if I'd realised sooner – is that it's not really a biopic, but more intended to be a stylised reflection of Klimt's mindset, even aesthetic, involving symbolic composite characters.
