La famosa historia de un hombre obsesionado con la belleza ideal.
Adaptación de la obra homónima del escritor Thomas Mann. A principios del siglo XX, un compositor alemán de delicada salud y cuya última obra acaba de fracasar, llega a Venecia a pasar el verano. En la ciudad de los canales se sentirá profundamente atraído por un hermoso y angelical adolescente, sentimiento que le irá consumiendo mientras la decadencia también alcanza a la ciudad en forma de epidemia.

The original title of the film is Morte a Venezia.
Absolutely gorgeous film. The parts I saw when I wasn't nodding off, anyway.
The film was really long and dilated, hard to grasp the overall meaning of what was shown, without necessarily much historical accuracy or realism. Of course, everyone would dream such an empty Venice, and the cinematography saved an otherwise too slow film.
There is in this film a look towards death that is sustained in the androgynous symbolism of Tadzio and the decay of the environment (Venice) and of artistic failure (Gustav). It is the idealization of beauty and youth, the fantasy seen from reality (the gaze hidden behind the newspaper). Death that looks at life, the mask that melts in the city of masks. The hope of reaching the unattainable.
Sickness is in health, not sickness and in health.
