Death in Venice - Luchino Visconti 1971

Main Cast: Dirk Bogarde, Romolo Valli, Marisa Berenson, Carole André, Björn Andrésen, Silvana Mangano, Franco Fabrizi, Leslie French
Based on Thomas Mann’s novella Death in Venice, Morte a Venezia follows the journey of the composer Gustav von Aschenbach, who leaves Germany for a vacation at the Lido in Venice.
“In the luxury hotel at which he is staying, he meets Tadzio, a beautiful and enigmatic Polish boy, the oldest of four children, who troubles his senses and stirs his imagination. A living symbol of the classic measure that Aschenbach has pursued in his own work and has not been able to achieve, Tadzio soon becomes an obsession. [...] In the meantime, a cholera epidemic takes a grip, and the city’s humid calli, disinfected to avoid contagion, are filled with a pungent and sinister odour, which in combination with the sirocco produces an enervating climate. In this stale atmosphere [...] Aschenbach’s spirit and body begin to waste away. [...] Moving in the suspense of a fantastic realism that hinges on the smoothness of the camera movements and the cutting of the sequences, Visconti [...] sets Aschenbach’s drama against the backdrop of the cosmopolitan society of the early 20th century that had its damp mooring in a dying Venice, and at the same time encapsulates the crisis of an entire culture.”

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

[@AABB-zb6dv]

I read the book when I was around same age as the boy, Tadzio. Obviously it wasn't written for such young readers but I was still fascinated by it. I didn't think Gustavs obsession with the boy was sexual. I thought he wanted to be him: a beautiful carefree young man admired by everyone around him just for being himself, in contrast with his own life as an elderly accomplished writter but still unhappy and lonely. That was how my young mind interpreted it. Beside that I loved the setting of the story and language, Thomas Mann was a great writter. But I will read it again as an adult, I'm sure there is more depth to it and many things I missed.

[@wengelder9256]

The book certainly does not imply a sexual relationship or even sexual phantasy as much as the movie does . But there is , or might be , an explanation for that . Luchino Visconti was of the opinion that Thomas Mann was homosexual and that the object of his desire was actually Gustav Mahler . There is an interesting video ( a documentary about the making of Death in Venice , including interviews with Visconti ) which can be found on KZbin, where Visconti explains why he changed the character of Aschenbach from a writer in to a musician . Basically because ( dixit Visconti “ we have a lot of proof of that “) Visconti assumed that the fascination of Aschenbach was actually with Gustav Mahler . That was the reason why Visconti chose Mahler’s music for the movie . The underlying idea of course was that homosexuality was not an issue that could be discussed in those days .

[@leon-lm2ph]

I currently just finished the book and I'm also around the same age as him.i thought the same thing ,that Gustav was just awestruck by tadzio and his youthful free and carefree self in contrast to himself.i didn't think his infatuations with him was erotic or sexual but more a intense admiration for his godlike beauty.I was also very shocked at the end because starting the book I thought it would be tadzio that dies considering how he was sickly but it was Gustav himself 🤔😅

[@zzzzzap]

Beauty is always erotic and can lead to sex. Any other thoughts are just not realistic. I neither say it's good or bad. It is like it is. Tadzio's face expression approached Aschenbach not only once.

Mi unisco a coloro che si sono espressi con grande ammirazione nei riguardi di questo film e del suo regista. Anche la colonna sonora, si rivela di suprema bellezza.

[@eltimir]

Polish nobleman Władysław Moes, who inspired Mann to create the image of Tadzio, remembers in 1964: "I am that boy! Yes, even then in Venice I was called Adzio or sometimes Władzio...But in the story I am named Tadzio...this is how the Master understood it...In the story I found everything described exactly, even my clothes, my behavior - good or bad - and the rough jokes I played on the sands with my friend. I was considered to be a very beautiful child and women admired and kissed me when I walked along the promenade. Some of them sketched and painted me. But in my memories all that seemed insignificant to me. I had those childlike negligent manners shown by pampered early matured children now and again. In Death in Venice this plot is much better narrated than I myself could ever do. The writer must have been highly impressed by my unconventional clothes and he described them without missing a detail: a striped linen suit and a red bow-tie as well as my favorite blue jacket with gold buttons."

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.

[@capricornebete-a-cornes8671]

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.

[@chrisfreeman9960]

That moment when the man has his last glimpse of the boy he loves so desperately, just before he passes away, with the boy's arm outstretched, in the distance, is achingly beautiful. That diffuse visual of the boy is iconic, and captures everything the man loves and needs while being unable to have.

I don’t think it’s so much the boy he loves as the youthful optimism and possibilities he personifies.

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.

All that camera zooming really detracts. I guess Visconti thought it was effective at that time, and it sure was easier than dollying or tracking. Hitchcock and Kubrick reserved zooming for brief very specific effects. The actor playing Mahler looks about 25 and is much more handsome. I confess I've never seen the entire movie.

Visconti a mi modo de ver trata de imitar el estilo inconfundible de Fellini, donde escena y música en el silencio de los protagonistas genera un clímax. Sin embargo, Fellini es inigualable hasta hoy. Solo se puede comparar Fellini con Tarkovsky, ambos son dioses. Esta película se hace solida con la música ya de por si. Luego a mi pesar se queda demasiado tiempo en el deseo sexual guardado de un hombre que no sabe como acercarse a ese adolescente. Casi es una pederastia pero poética, aunque la poesía no le quita lo otro. Hoy esta película se ve con otros ojos, aunque la homosexualidad es mas aceptada que antes, también sabemos detectar la pederastia. En general la cultura italiana es muy recurrente a lo sexual, es una característica de buena parte de sus películas. Esta película también me recordó a Roma de Fellini, allí también el director buscó a un joven muy bello para hacer unas escenas sexuales, aunque Fellini usa más recursos y eso brinda a las escenas aun más arte.

[@fattymcfatso1083]

Okay but Visconti was actually making films before Fellini. 🤔 As to pedophelia, the film goes up to the line without crossing it. I do not believe in "thought crimes". He is not guilty of anything. The protagonist may have had lustful urges but these were never acted upon. He also viewed the boy as an object of art - something beautiful to be seen and not touched.
