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.。20世纪80年代末，苏联情报机构克格勃迎来了新一任掌门人瓦西列夫。随着他的上任，克格勃和美国中央情报局CIA的谍战平衡被打破，诸多潜伏苏联的CIA探员被捕，局势分外紧张。在此大环境下，军人后代安娜却过着颓废堕落的生活。当处于人生最低点时，她被招募进了克格勃。凭借出众的外貌以及卓越的领悟力，安娜很快成为一名出色干练的特工。此后的岁月里，她如同一台无情的杀人机器，按照组织的命令处决了一个又一个目标。但是在安娜的内心最深处，她时刻渴望重新获得自由。遗憾的是瓦西列夫决不允许有任何一名克格勃活着退出组织，在绝望之际，安娜的命运走到了十字路口……。
