bu harika

Quel magnifique et triste film , divine musique

I forgot to add that I am now reading the story by Thomas Mann.

Watching this great movie for the umpteenth time. Superb acting by DB ,Mahler’s music is so beautiful.

Dirk Bogarde after playing many light roles finally came into his real abilities, tour de force acting, 3:16 a terrific movie. One of my top 5 faves.

Bjorn Andersen is indeed a gorgeous beautiful ethereal boy in this movie. Very attractive. But had he known what this movie did to him, he should have went on to be what he truly wanted to be, A pianist. He's as gorgeous as the pianist Franz Liszt, who the women , just couldn't keep their paws off of. Beauty is exceptional, most people made physically lacking of it. Bjorn on the other hand looked angelic, w/ those feminine eyes. enough to make one head do a 360.

Vajon Visconti ezt a lányos képű szőke fiút is megrontotta?

Pobre viejo gey se murió de amor

Красота человека, действительно завораживает. Испытала это на себе. Это как держать в поле зрения птицу, парящую в небе, так красиво, грациозно, и невероятно изящно кружащуюся в небесных массах. При этом недосягаемую никоим образом, от того еще более манящую и заставляющую затаить дыхание и следить взглядом, любуясь. Я тоже падка на красоту. Я любуюсь красивыми людьми обоих полов, это так естественно, как по мне.

Tu corazón estaba preparado para la muerte 9:41 9:41 ❤

Insinuante por ambos lados

Mahler's music became part of my torrid gay teen years after this movie. It's an intense watch. Not sure a film like this would be made now.

One of best movies ever. This is like a painting , like a Proust works. You need to taste like excellent wine! God touched this tape !

Bro literally dies of cringe 😂

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Mhh, if you knew what happened to the guy, you would retain your enthusiasm!

Sir Dirk Bogarde was passed away on May 8th,1999. Today is 25th anniversary of his passing. A brilliant actor and writer.

Stunning cinematography, exquisite Venice, heartbreaking story, unrequited love. Music to die for.

This scene is the essence of the film. Explain everything. I don't think Tadzio was making fun of Gustav, the reason is simple. A 15 year old noble boy with some education would never make fun of a man who could be his father, rich, titled (baron), famous as a musician. Gustav is an authoritative figure. At most, a boy of that age could have made fun of an ugly peer, with crooked teeth, plump, with glasses... or a homeless person, a disabled person, but certainly not a distinguished and authoritative person like Aschenbach. I think that in the film Visconti wanted to make it clear that the blond boy wanted to experiment something with the older man, perhaps also because the boy had understood that Gustav is rich and wealthy (the same old story in short...). The famous shot in which Gustav seems to be "on top of" Tadzio from behind and the fact that both were sexually "involved" in this scene (objective data visible to all, if you want to understand...) speaks for itself.

All of you so boring

Happy103rd birthday to DirkBogarde march 28th 2024, wonderfully unique actor and writer.

Durante la mia adolescenza ho sofferto molto per gli sguardi famelici e gli stalking da parte di uomini adulti e sposati, ciò ha influito sulla mia vita sociale e accademica e sono diventata introverso : la bellezza ferisce infatti chi la possiede

No other movie has music and visuals so integrated.

I was 20 years old when I saw “Death in Venice”, by Luchino Visconti. I was first captivated by the aesthetic images of Belle Epoque Venice, the music of Mahler and above all by the angelic beauty of young Tadzio, whose ambiguous attitude towards Gustav Achenbach who came to the City of the Doges for its atmosphere conducive to the development of his art, music, who rather sees himself taken with passion for this devastatingly beautiful Polish teenager. Just like Achenbach's character, I was disturbed by the beauty of the adolescent that Visconti portrays, sensitive to the interest shown in him, cruelly exacerbating Gustave's feelings towards him. Tadzio's attitude reminded me of mine, that of the teenager that I was, ambivalent about his sexual orientation, as is often the case at that age, prey to adults, some of my teachers among others, without suspecting the torments aroused in the latter. Enchanted yes, but also saddened by this story taken from the novel by Thomas Mann, which I had not yet read at the time, for poor Gustave Aschenbach, victim of his passion and the epidemic of Asian cholera which devastated Venice in 1911.

J'avais 20 ans quand j'ai vu "Mort à Venise", de Luchino Visconti. J'ai été d'abord envoûté par l'esthétique des images de la Venise de la Belle époque, la musique de Mahler et surtout par la beauté angélique du jeune Tadzio, dont l'attitude ambiguë envers Gustav Achenbach venu dans la Cité des Doges pour son atmosphère propice à l'épanouissement de son art, la musique, qui se voit plutôt pris de passion pour cet adolescent polonais à la beauté dévastatrice. Tout comme le personnage d'Achenbach, je fus troublé par la beauté de l'adolescent que Visconti met en scène, sensible de l'intérêt qui lui était porté, exacerbant cruellement les sentiments de Gustave envers lui. L'attitude de Tadzio m'a rappelé la mienne, celle de l'adolescent que je fus, ambivalent sur son orientation sexuelle, comme c'est souvent le cas à cet âge, proie d'adultes, certains de mes professeurs entre autres, sans me douter des tourments suscités chez ces derniers. Envoûté oui, mais aussi peiné par cette histoire tirée du roman de Thomas Mann, que je n'avais pas encore lu à l'époque, pour le pauvre Gustave Aschenbach victime de sa passion et de l'épidémie du choléra asiatique qui a dévasté Venise en 1911.

Love Dirk Bogarde❤ Beautiful eyes. Haunting in a way. Hauntingly Beautiful

Tadzio is flirtatious and provocative. In this scene he shows his age, that is, 15 years old. He's not a man, but he's not a child either. She wiggles her butt in front of Gustav who almost faints. Book and film are different...

You may watch, you may not touch.

"Beach scene", aka "best scene".

Simplemente maravilloso. Por siempre Bjorn. Excelente película!!❤

Excelente….único y maravilloso. Bjorn siempre!!❤

Thanks

Beautiful clip and mahler's 🎶 suite scene

How much mister bogard was good and very handsome too without that makeup

😢❤❤❤❤❤

Mahler. Visconti. Bogarde. Venecia. El inconformismo con la decadencia de la edad. El dolor ante un amor imposible. La tristeza. Querer cambiar lo inevitable. Mahler. Visconti. Bogarde. Venecia.Adaptar a Thomas Mann, que siempre escribió sobre vidas tristes, rodeadas de propósitos irrealizables, marcadas por una realidad sin remedio, es una obra de arte de un valor incalculable.

Thomas Mann (1875 - 1955 ). German literature.

The older I get, the less nostalgic I become. Only one ship is seeking us, Larkins black-sailed unfamiliar.

Incredibly heart rending. Visconti's is the best adaptation.

HORRIBLE cut

I like this movie, the story line is very interesting, I can easily understand everything

I don't see anything sexual in this. Gustav is just looking at Tadzio and seeing perfection, happiness that has eluded him, regrets of things he never got to do or experience despite his successes... It's intensely melancholic & spiritual more than physical.

Ciao, F. : -)))

Really eerie.....

How to watch this movie?

The whole thing just makes my skin crawl, disgusting creepy older man lusting for a child.

Très bonne idée, Francesca !

Porquería de pelicula,un anciano enamorado,perbertido acosador de un niño 🤮

The Opening of this film, is visually one of the most beautiful scenes ,ever.
