Herbert Vesely was one of the promises for a new German cinema already in the 50's, but after the 60's his star was already dimmed. He made a small number of films in the 70's and 80's, all non too good. This biography of Egon Schiele, one of the most important Austrian artists, is an example of the pretensions and emptiness of a Vesely-film of later date. The life of Schiele is presented here as a puzzle| well, Vesely thinks that Schiele's life was a puzzle: the core of the story is centered around the famous 1912 pornography trial and using this as base the film shows fragments of past and future. The problem is that it never becomes a unity and that the order of scenes and sequences seems to be at random: a cut-and-paste job that could have had any other result. Indeed, after seeing it twice I am almost convinced of it that a unsatisfactory linear thought-out film was changed into the puzzle in the editing room. Egon Schiele was an enigmatic man, but not a total puzzle, and this film does not bring him any closer. The films also fails in conveying the eroticism and meaning of the Schiele's paintings: the camera watches and glides over the models without any understanding of Schiele's intentions, we only see beautiful naked bodies. If interested in Schiele, you better buy a book with his works in stead.。民间艺人“破风筝”抗战时因不甘心作日寇的奴隶，带着老婆大凤和义女珍珠，忍痛离开北平。十年中跑遍汉口、重庆、成都、昆明、桂林等地，到处演唱宣传抗战的新鼓书。十年来，“破风筝”和方珍珠，受尽了官僚买办、大小特务和流氓恶霸的敲诈和侮辱。 日本投降后，“破风筝”满怀希望，兴高采烈地回到北平，天真地以为苦日子可熬到头了，以后可平平安安的卖艺，凭本事吃饭，没想到北平仍是那些特务、流氓和恶霸的天下。“破风筝”一家刚回到北平，特务李将军，狗腿子向三元和专写些风花雪月的鼓词去剥削艺人的孟小樵，就开始在“破风筝”和方珍珠身上打主意。王力是一位心地光明为人正直的文艺工作者，多少年来，他替“破风筝”写了许多宣传抗战的鼓词，而不收任何报酬，是被 “破风筝”信任的惟一好人。“破风筝”经过多少天的奔走活动，好歹组成了班子，租下园子。可就在开锣的那一天，因为得罪了李将军，李便令狗腿子向三元，带着一群流氓砸了戏园子，使得“破风筝”、方珍珠及艺人们流离失所。虽然日子艰苦，但他们终于撑下去了，始终没有向恶势力低头。 北平解放了，受苦的人们翻了身。“破风筝”、方珍珠都参加了学习班，学习新道理，他们已不再是受人鄙视的“唱玩意的”。而成了受人尊重的文艺工作者。素来与“破风筝”不合作的相声艺人白二立，经过学习也与“破风筝”合作了。艺人们在新社会里，团结进步，过上了幸福的生活。。
