Genres: Program
Director: Ali Ray
The Kiss by Gustav Klimt is one of the most
recognised and reproduced paintings in the
world. It is perhaps the most popular poster on
student dorm walls from Beijing to Boston.
Painted in Vienna around 1908, the evocative
image of an unknown embracing couple has
captivated viewers with its mystery, sensuality
and dazzling materials ever since it was created.
But just what lies behind the appeal of the
painting – and just who was the artist that
created it?
Delving into the details of real gold, decorative
designs, symbolism and simmering erotica,
a close study of the painting takes us to the
remarkable turn of the century Vienna when a
new world was battling with the old.
From the director of ‘Frida Kahlo’ and ‘Mary
Cassatt – Painting the Modern Woman’ comes
a powerful, gripping and passionate new film.
