Bride of the Wind

Bride of the Wind is a 2001 period drama directed by Academy Award-nominee Bruce Beresford and written by first-time screenwriter Marilyn Levy. Loosely based on the life of Alma Mahler, Bride of the Wind recounts Alma's marriage to the composer Gustav Mahler and her romantic liaisons. The title of the film alludes to a painting by Oskar Kokoschka named Die Windsbraut, literally meaning The Bride of the Wind, though often translated as The Tempest. The artist dedicated this painting to Alma Mahler.

The film poster artwork depicts Alma reclining on a chaise longue attended by a lover, with a field of flowers in the background. Alma's dress, her hair, the chaise, the field of flowers and even the air are replete with many of the stylistic elements of paintings by Gustav Klimt.

Cast
gollark: There's even a Ubuntu Touch GSI, and maybe eventually a postmarketOS one will happen.
gollark: On the plus side, Project Treble means that the drivers/hardware mess on ARM is somewhat mitigated, and you can flash generic-system-image ROMs on most modern devices which allow bootloader unlocking and have stuff mostly work.
gollark: I like having a smartphone and would really not want to not have one, but oh something or other the software choices are so awful.
gollark: They probably receive money™ to do so.
gollark: Basically that. Although it's not that much work if you have... basic familiarity with command prompts and such?
