Taboo. Egon Schiele

Set in ČeskýKrumlov, the hometown of Egon Schiele’s mother, Taboo. Egon Schiele offers a bold psychoanalytic reading of the artist’s deep connection to this Bohemian town—both as a physical place and a symbol of maternal longing, desire, and confinement.

Through Schiele’s paintings, writings, and poetry, the film explores his troubled relationship with women, his obsession with time and death, and his raw, modern vision that is still unsettling today.

Drawing parallels with Kafka and the decline of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Taboo. Egon Schiele is a poetic journey into the mind and legacy of one of the most radical artists of the 20th century.
