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.。在美国，警察被赋予了控制人们个人生活的非凡权力。警察决定谁是可疑的，谁“符合描述”。他们定义威胁，并决定如何应对。他们要求人们服从，并附带不断的暴力威胁。真实的和可感知的犯罪行为以及对社会秩序的威胁均由警方制定，成千上万这样的互动每天在大城小镇中上演。警察使国家的抽象权力变得具体。 《权力背后》追溯了金钱的积累，政治权力的巩固，以及几乎不受限制的两党支持，正是这些支持创建了我们所知的警察制度。从18世纪的奴隶巡逻，到19世纪第一个公共资助的警察部门，再到20世纪60年代和20世纪20年代的起义，这部电影提供了一段直击内心的沉浸式旅程，展示了历史的演进历程。 部分文章，部分采访，部分档案拼贴，《权力背后》用历史材料来阐述我们当下的现实，并探讨与不断增长而且在很大程度上未受到限制的权威有关的紧迫问题：谁被监管，谁被保护，谁来决定，...。
