Egon Schiele: Death and the Maiden

Directed by Dieter Berner (2016), In German; English subtitles. 110 min.

At the onset of the twentieth century, Egon Schiele is one of the most provocative artists in Vienna. He sets off scandals and is tried for allegedly violating a 13-year-old girl. His life and work are steeped in eroticism and transience. Women are the fuel for his art, especially his younger sister Gerti and 17-year-old Wally Neuzil. Wally is probably his first real love, immortalized in his painting, Death and the Maiden (1915). The outbreak of World War I brings the 24-year-old artist into an existential crisis and he must sacrifice love for his art.
