A character study and a meditation on art in a time of opulence and syphilis. Gustave 

Klimt (1862-1918) lies in hospital, dying. In reveries, he recalls the early 1900s: 

it's fin de siècle Vienna. At the World Exposition in Paris, Klimt meets Georges Méliès, 

who does a moving picture for him, and Klimt falls under the spell of a woman who

 may be Lea de Castro. We see Klimt in his studio; we meet his mother and sister,

 who suffer from mental illness. We watch Klimt the libertine. On his deathbed and

 as a younger man, he imagines things as well: encounters with ministers and waiters

 and with women who are willing participants in his pleasures. Is this the source of art?

"Óscar. The Color of Destiny" is a revealing portrayal of a forgotten icon of French 

Surrealism: Spanish painter Óscar Domínguez, contemporary of Picasso. The film

 rediscovers the life of a talented artist who was ignored after he committed suicide,

 fifty years ago, victim of a serious illness which had disfigured his body: the 

Elephant Man's disease. The film is stirring and touching and compels admiration

 for the bohemian painter whose fate was self-destruction, after a wild crazy life. 

Lucas Fernández turns the life of a debauchee, who regarded himself a monster

 because of his disfiguring disease, into a universal story where art is the

 product of love and loneliness, of sex and violence before, during and after

 the Nazi invasion of Paris.
