About this product

Product Information

Luchino Visconti utilized striking cinematography and a precise narrative in his adaptation of Thomas Mann's DEATH IN VENICE. The filmmaker was known forhis deliberate, masterly work in films that delved deeply into a significant historical era or figure. The story follows the sickly composer, Gustav von Aschenbach (Dirk Bogarde), who arrives in Venice by steamboat from Munich. He is deeply distracted, nervous, uncomfortable, and conflicted. Nonetheless, he settles into a breathtaking seaside resort, where he fixates on Tadzio (Bjorn Andresen), an angelic blond Polish boy who is there with his family. While flashbacks to happy times spent with his wife and small daughter fill in some of the blanks of Aschenbach's personal past, others recall his harsh and competitive friend, Alfred (Mark Burns), who criticized Aschenbach'smusic for being too technically perfect and thus lacking in beauty and passion.Via these glimpses into the past, we see that Aschenbach feels defeated in both his personal and his professional lives. The film uses very little dialogue, relying largely on the characters' facial expressions to communicate the protagonist's tortured psyche, young Tadzio's curious vanity, and the pretentious airs of the bourgeois women who parade the Venetian beaches in taffeta, bonnets, and parasols. As Aschenbach's infatuation with Tadzio grows beyond his control, he learns that "Venice is gripped by pestilence" (as narrated in Mann's novel) and the city is being sequestered to prevent the spread of a cholera outbreak. With slow and concentrated pacing, some hauntingly surreal scenes, and a color scheme consisting of bold blacks and stark whites that are a constant reminder of the inevitable, DEATH IN VENICE captures the poignancy of Mann's novel with a sharp, sinister, and unwavering accuracy.

    Topic of Boy Love for thoughtful people

    This is an odd film. It is rather intellectual as it reviews arguments about art and beauty in flashbacks as the musician protagonist's long-held views are challenged by the impact of his realization of a boy's beauty. It is set in Venice at the time of a cholera outbreak, the man's increasing fascination with the boy leads to his own death from the disease. Just as his intellectual views cracked, so do his health. Beautiful settings in opulent environments contrast with disease and death. While the theme is boy love, the relationship extends no further than repeated glances at each other. If interested, buy this movie.

    Title adequate for a superficial description of the plot which dealt with issues of artistic creativity.

    If you do not wish to delve deeply into the elevated mind set of Thomas Mann you can at least enjoy the images of this production. Faced with a difficult role, Dirk Borgarde wasn't bad. I was unsure sometimes about the adherence of the script to Thomas Mann as the lead character was shifted to Gustav Mahler who was not the subject of the original novella, which I have not read. That said, it was engaging.

    Beauty Found and Lost in Venice

    What is true beauty? Is it what an artist might create or is it what we encounter with our senses? Composer Gustav von Aschenbach (Dirk Bogarde) travels to Venice to escape stress and seek artistic inspiration, the space to create. What he finds is an adolescent boy whose physical perfection so captivates him that he embarks on an obsessive pursuit destined to destroy him
