Hans Henrik Legrfeldt Movies
- 1991
This biography of the short-lived but commercially successful super-realist artist Hans Henrik Lerfeldt (1946-1989) combines archival material, dramatic re-enactments of portions of his early life, and documentary-style interviews with the artist himself. Lerfeldt painted mainly nudes. He was obsessed with questions of sexual freedom and repression and compared the constrained expression of those living in the north of Europe unfavorably with that of southern Europeans. A greatly overweight man, he seems to have left his apartment only rarely. Also featured in the film are clips from the artist's own porn-film collection. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

This drama looks into the life of French painter Paul Gauguin. Donald Sutherland plays Gauguin as he struggles through a few years in the 1890s in Montmartre after he has come back from his first stay in Tahiti. His new and radical painting style is not amenable to easy acceptance, as witnessed by August Strindberg's rejection of it here. The best segments of this film show the artist at work and talking with his friends, other less successful moments show him in amorous liaisons or in one case, in a fight sequence. Most of all, his dedication to his artistic vision as well as the depth of his personality are elements which maintain interest throughout, in a large part due to Sutherland's insightful portrayal of the artist. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
