"KLIMT" is not a documentary about the artist, but a personal and dreamlike examination of his career and life, from his own point of view, as he lies dying in a hospital ward in Vienna. This thoughtful, risk-taking film is visually stunning, and is portrayed by actors at the peak of their game. It deals with themes and questions that occupied the artist, his community, and Europeans in the late 19th, and early 20th centuries. To learn more about Gustav Klimt the artist, look him up on Wikipedia; enjoy the film on its own merits, if you are a fan of the "Die Hard " series, you probably won't like it. Rather think of "A Beautiful Mind," or "Citizen Kane," but where themes and allegory are the mysteries, not relationships.
