After the visual abuses of Snark Week, I wanted to watch something beautiful, a real “sit back and let the art wash over you” moment. Klimt (2006) fit the bill, being an appropriately arsty-fartsy biopic of Austrian painter Gustav Klimt (played by John Malkovich). The story plays fast and loose with history, but it does include the artist’s relationship with Austrian reformist fashion designer Emilie Louise Flöge (Veronica Ferres). Both Flöge’s historical fashion designs and Klimt’s artwork are interpreted by costume designer by Birgit Hutter into what the characters wear, making for some interesting looks.
