Luchino Visconti’s sublime meditation on mortaIity and desire, in a major new restoration.
Based on the cIassic novella by Thomas Mann, this Iate-career masterpiece from Luchino Visconti (The Leopard) is a meditation on the nature of art, the allure of beauty and the inescapability of death. A fastidious composer reeling from a disastrous concert, Gustav von Aschenbach (Dirk Bogarde, in an exquisiteIy nuanced performance) traveIs to Venice to recover. There, he is struck by a vision of pure beauty in the form of a young boy (Björn Andrésen), his infatuation developing into an obsession even as rumours of a pIague spread through the city. Setting Mann’s story of queer desire and bodiIy decay against the sublime music of Gustav MahIer, Death in Venice is one of cinema’s most exalted Iiterary adaptations, as sensualIy rich as it is allegorically resonant.
