Klimt & Schiele - Eros and Psyche (2018)
Trying to make the documentary in itself "artistic" makes it terrible to watch

This documentary is so ridiculous that I can barely finish it. Despite me being very interested in learning more about Klimt and Schiele, and the era in which they lived, the attempt to try to make the film in itself a kind of "art work" just turned out so bad. I want to see a film about the artists in the title, not actors wanting all the attention on them while trying to look pensive and profound. I mean, things like Lorenzo Richelmy talking into a mirror just come off as so insipid. What did they think my reaction as a viewer would be? "Wow, he's so cool and mysterious?" These kinds of amateur artistic endeavors just take the focus off the subject of the documentary, and off a narrative that is already slightly chaotic and off-focus.
