In the documentary, a panel of commentators, including several art historians, actress and model Lily Cole, and pop singer Iggy Pop, share their impressions on Schiele. After he was put on trial and condemned to a short spell in prison for public indecency, when some of his nude paintings were found hanging in his studio where local children could come and go, he used that negative fame to expand his market, this time portraying more mature women. Reflecting on one of the most controversial figures of modern art, Egon Schiele: dangerous desires is an interesting exploration of the reasons why Schiele remains a divisive artist to this very day and how his legacy has affected following generations, even outside painting.
