konets vega -- fin de siecle? -- Clarification

[Benjamin Sher]

Dear friends:

Have any of you ever seen "konets veka" (the context is art
history, specifically film history of the late 20th century)
translated into English as "fin-de-siecle"? It would seem to
me that "fin-de-siecle" refers only to the specific time period
of the end of the 19th century and is not transferable to any
other century, either before or after it.

Any thoughts on the matter?

Benjamin
