I thought I knew enough about Klimt to actually get this biopic...yeah, it's an interesting character study, but it very much about time period and art as a byproduct. The turn of the century Vienna, at least in the eyes of Klimt, was certainly sexually charged, decadent, libertine. The women are gorgeous (especially Saffron Burrows). Loved the costumes and set design. It was totally biopic and not biographic. Can't say I learned anything about Klimt that I didn't really know, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Art for art's sake.
BTW, John Malkovich is just John Malkovich. I don't buy into his talent, he's okay. I hate his voice.
