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.”
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.
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 UA-cam, 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 .
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 🤔😅
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.
Stunning cinematography, exquisite Venice, heartbreaking story, unrequited love. Music to die for.
Happy103rd birthday to DirkBogarde march 28th 2024, wonderfully unique actor and writer.
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 !
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.
Я тоже однажды увидела на железнодорожном вокзале прекрасную цыганку 16-17 лет и целый вечер, в ожидании поезда, ходила повсюду за ней и любовалась ею. Я и подумать не могла, что это что то лесбийское. Просто понравилась и все. Я еще долго о ней думала , как о самом совершенстве.
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."
Thanks for sharing this!!!
The Opening of this film, is visually one of the most beautiful scenes ,ever.
This is absolutely golden. So beautiful.
Let me guess . . Most negative comments are from those who haven't seen the film.
This was an unbelievably beautiful film, by Visconti, white Malher's music 🎶 playing elegantly. ❤
Masterpiece.
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.
Luchino Visconti fue un esteta, una persona de gran cultura y además un genial Director de Cine. Esta BELLEZA llamada "Muerte en Venecia" es, para mí, su obra cumbre, no hay palabras para describirla y elogiarla. Una maravilla para ver y volver a ver y volver a ver.
one of the most beautiful films....I cry every time I see it...
you get it. so many do not, seeing something lurid and horrible
Beautiful clip and mahler's 🎶 suite scene
Sir Dirk Bogarde was passed away on May 8th,1999. Today is 25th anniversary of his passing. A brilliant actor and writer.
The beauty of the boy is like that of the Mona Lisa - sinister, almost evil in its seductive power.
The book was so sad. The misery of that intensity of desire and delusion. Made me cry all these years after I read it.
Yes. I agree.
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.
Work of Art. I was but a young man when I first this, it broke my heart.
You are a young man. Your soul is forever eighteen. Immerse in celestial beauty of 'All of It' within and without.
@@olgakrymova3969 Thank you
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.
a truly remarkable and insightful comment. much needed considering all the lurid opinions about this artistic masterpiece
It brings to mind that wistful old Astrid Gilberto song: "Each day as he walks to the sea, he looks straight ahead, not at me."
No other movie has music and visuals so integrated.
Incredibly heart rending. Visconti's is the best adaptation.
Love Dirk Bogarde❤
Beautiful eyes.
Haunting in a way.
Hauntingly Beautiful
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.
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.
The vanity of trying to hold on to eternal youth is an early death...
We all wish to hold on to youth in different degrees. It's human nature.
Great film ,respect Maestro Visconti.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I like this movie, the story line is very interesting, I can easily understand everything
This was a beautiful movie, the music and cinematography perfect, Dirk Bogarde superb, one of my favourite actors, I’ve watched the movie several times over the years and never tire of it
Morte a Venezia.Interpretazione magistrale e struggente🤣
Uno de los adagios mas hermosos jamas escritos por un sensible e incomprendido Mahler, y una de las metáforas mas hermosas jamás lograda antes y después en cine, sobre la belleza. Gracias por compartir.
Filme imperdível, música 🎶 impecável. Saudades!
Se não fosse pela história triste por trás desse filme, seria maravilhoso mesmo.
A weird masterpiece
A good picture of how passion free and beyond its natural boundaries destroyes and kills, being lost without its goal, a play with the impossible, a play for itself, without any meaning and horizon of the rational.
A sad but very beautiful movie, Offenbach and Venice are dying. And Mahler's 5th symphony adagio is incredible!
I agree with you! Sad and beautiful movie!
Aschenbach
@@philiptyack559 You are correct.
I think you mean von Aschenbach. I presume you’ve never read the novel.
@@sarto2010 No sh*t, of course I didn't read the novel. Nobody is perfect my friend.
Mahler's Adagietto: sublime. Especially this very slow version by the PNSO / Wit.
Thanks
MARAVILLOSO

Прекрасный фильм знаменитого Маэстро кино Висконти!
Unmatchable.
Mi sarei aspettata un po' più di empatia e apprezzamento per questo film che è un capolavoro! Visconti ha trattato un tema così difficile con una delicatezza, intimità e rispetto degni di un grandissimo artista, sottolineato da una musica che ""più giusta"" non poteva essere.💞💜💞💜💞
Da chi aspettava empatia e apprezzamento? Chiunque sia, se non è stato in grado di cogliere la struggente resa del testo di Mann o la magnifica regia, forse non vale la pena neanche dispiacersi...forse, semplicemente, non ha gli strumenti o la sensibilità per cogliere quale gioiello straordinario sia questo film.
@@cecilia-kd9mi vero ha ragione, ma cosa vuole!.....il sono sempre ottimista. Penso!
...semmm palavrasss!!!🙏🙏🙏
Ein bezaubernder Film und Musik mit grandiosen Schauspielern. Schade, dass es das Hotel Des Bain am Lido nicht mehr gibt, in dem auch einige Szenen gedreht wurden damals. Ein Hotel mit Geschichte ❤ Das Hotel steht seit Jahren leer und man streitet sich wohl immer noch darum, was aus dem Gebäude wird.
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.
This film usually gets "short schrift"when being rated but I enjoyed it a lot and found the unfulfilled longing haunting........oddly, was reminded of it when Mr Giuliani put on his version of dripping mascara.
Short schrift from who? It won the Palm D'Or at Cannes.
UNA OBRA MAESTRA DEL CINE DE TODO LOS TIEMPOS,INACCESIBLE PARA LOS INCULTOS,IRREPETIBLE PARA EL CINE DE HOY,TORNA INVISIBLE EL CINE DE MI DESGRACIADO PAIS,
GRACIAS,A VISCONTI Y A SUS COLABORADORES POR HACER POSIBLE ESTE MILAGRO ARTÍSTICO SUPREMO.

This film is so aesthetic that the main character manages to die of cholera without ever having diarrhea once! 😄😁😂🤣
Great!!!

Tadzio, the Angel of Death, meet The Artist in Venice for him to find the meaning of true Love. In full manifestation of this celestial madness Aschenbach, even risk shame, to show to himself that the mediocracy of his life could be overcome in an instant of selflessness. He achieved the Good Death, as another victim of the plague as nobody seems to notice, in the city of Venus. He was truly blessed!
Love has a name and its JESUS your maker!There's NO love without Himliving on the inside of you,only lust!

How to watch this movie?
Best in HD.
❤❤❤
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.
it's not supposed to be Mahler
You should watch the whole version. You are always free to stop when you prefer if you find it boring. If you watch the entire movie you risk to love it....
My memory of this movie was that it was akin to watching paint dry. Exquisite cinematography , hauntingly beautiful music , and a total lack of on screen action.
What no car chases or explosions. That's b3cause 5he film was made in the 1970s and aimed at adults.
THE MOVIE AND MUSIC LIVE FROM THE REPRESENTATION OF THE GREAT BOURGEOIS CULTURE IN DECAY AND A MELANCHOLIC AWARENESS OF IDEAL BEAUTY. THIS GENERAL SENTIMENT WAS VERY STRONG AFTER WW1, WOULD LEAD TO THE RISE OF COMMUNISM AND FASCISM, ULTIMATE WW2. SO, IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT A LOT OF ARTIST AND INTELLECTUALS ARE GUILTY OF THE TRAGIC OF WW2 AND EVEN LATER WARS.
A strange and creepy offering. Makes you wonder what crimes the old man had done to young boys before this?
El chico mas hermoso del mundo en 1970. Hoy no lo sería, es demasiado delgado, hoy se estila un poco más de músculo sin llegar al otro extremo
Claro que lo seria es hermoso!! Tiene un no se que...😍 muero por ver esta pelicula.
@@georgina7085 te la recomiendo, está en UA-cam, también es muy interesante la biografía del chico, de como ese personaje le desgracia toda la vida
Понятие красоты во все времена было разным. Человек сам создаёт образ эталона разными способами. Ну ,например,которые выбирают по своему восприятию , а мы реагирует каждый по своему. Дело не только в красоте лица,например ,есть ещё определённый типаж,что вызывает или восхищение или неприятие.

Did Tadzio know?
I think so. But didn't really care.
Tengo fdos opiniones sobre este filme pero reconozco el arte
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
Yo creo ke el chico era mudó!! No se le oyo nunca, la voz, exhibición total de un crio menor de edad, y un señor mayor, ke se enamoró como un salido!!🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️

Diesen überlangen Film könnte man tatsächlich auf 9 Minuten zusammenstreichen.
I might watch more movies if they were condensed this way.
It's an art film. They're meant to be enjoyed like novels.
Für mich könnte er endlos sein. Ich liebe diesen Film und die Novelle, die Zeit um 1900 und natürlich Thomas Mann.

Poderia só estar curioso c a insistência do maestro . Nada mais

No. He also viewed the boy as a work of art. Stop it with your hypocracy. This is not child porn.
Этот фильм настолько эстетичен, что главный герой умудряется умереть от холеры, ни разу не заболев диареей! 😄😁😂🤣
Вы хорошо заметили про эстетику,автор решил это опустить.
@@elmiramuradova561 Это именно то, что я говорю.
I remember seeing this movie as a young man, and out of respect for art I suspected something in me was wrong because I actually found it rather boring. I understood is was all very tragic, but it was so ssslllooowww. Now that I have this less than 10 minutes synopsis I understand I was right. Watching one and a half hour of indecision is not very entertaining.
Questo film è così estetico che il personaggio principale riesce a morire di colera senza mai avere la diarrea una volta! 😄😁😂🤣

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.
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.
Andresen has no real lines, no dialogue, for the entire movie.
In an interview, Andersen said the film made him famous and afterward he climbed the ladder of success straight to the bottom.
The whole thing just makes my skin crawl, disgusting creepy older man lusting for a child.
