Alma & Oskar

Directed by Dieter Berner (2022), In German; English subtitles. 88 min.

The recently widowed Alma Mahler, grande dame of Viennese society, seduces the enfant terrible of Vienna’s art scene, the young painter Oskar Kokoschka. What started as a sexual adventure quickly turns into an intense affair. Oskar views Alma as his muse, which serves more his male fantasy than reality. Alma herself is also an artist — a composer. Oskar’s obsession with making this woman his own puts her dream of becoming successful in danger. A game of power and dependency emerges that leads both Alma and Oskar to the brink of self-destruction.
