Egon Schiele

Struck down by the Spanish Flu in 1918, aged just 28, in his short life Egon Schiele created over 3,000 drawings and paintings, self-portraits and nudes. An agent provocateur of the modernist era, he was a taboo-busting rebel whose art looks like it was made yesterday - self-obsessed, exhibitionist and unafraid to confront questions of sexuality and identity. To mark the anniversary of Schiele's death a century ago, this film tells Schiele's dramatic story in his own words, using original letters and writings - many of them translated for the first time. The film celebrates his remarkable artistic achievements but also debates the controversies around his work.

Egon Schiele is one of the most provocative artists in Vienna at the beginning of the 20th Century. His life and work are driven by beautiful women and an era that is coming to an end. Two women will have a lasting impact on him - his sister and first muse Gerti, and 17 year old Wally, arguably his one true love, immortalized in his famous painting 'Death and the Maiden'. His radical paintings scandalize Viennese society while daring artists like Gustav Klimt and art agents alike are sensing the exceptional. But he is also prepared to go beyond his own pain and to sacrifice Love and Life for his art that inspires us up to this day.

Egon Schiele, fascinado por los placeres prohibidos, es famoso por dibujar chicas muy jóvenes en posturas lascivas y sugestivas, atrayendo las iras de los biempensantes burgueses de la Viena de principios del siglo XX. Acusado injustamente de violar a una de sus últimas modelos, una menor, Schiele se encuentra en prisión en espera de juicio. Para garantizar su defensa, sus dos mejores amigos y su abogado recurrirán a grandes nombres de la época, por entonces concentrados en Viena: Stefan Zweig, Sigmund Freud, Gustac Klimt…
