Résumés(1)
Dans les années 1910, Gustav Aschenbach, un compositeur solitaire marqué par la mort de sa fille, séjourne en cure au Grand Hôtel des Bains à Venise. Il est fasciné par Tadzio, un adolescent en villégiature avec sa famille. Tandis que la ville est en proie à une épidémie de choléra, l'ambiance devient de plus en plus morbide et Aschenbach s'enferme dans une obsession amoureuse démesurée à l'égard du jeune homme. Un curieux lien se noue entre les deux personnages et renvoie le musicien à ses souvenirs, la vieillesse et le temps qui passe. (Warner Bros. FR)

Seen on a wide screen in the classy premises of Slovácké divadlo and I have to say that it was my greatest experience at SFS so far!! A visual and auditory feast with Visconti's incredible magic with images and the divine music of Gustav Mahler. Even the story, however simple, can captivate with its poignancy on the theme of forbidden love and the decay of society and the human spirit. However, it is how and where you see the work that is essential to the overall impression. This really belongs in the cinema.

Musical beauty abused for narrative emptiness and a dragging camera capturing Venice, Bogarde, and Andrésen. Visconti does exactly what I condemn in acclaimed directing giants. He films for himself and only sends the viewer his smug smile. I hate the impersonal form at the expense of the story, and therefore, I would be a hypocrite if I judged it better.

In the context of the German Visconti trilogy, this is an interesting piece. The Damned was a mannerist film of low artistic quality, but this one had quite a bit of energy mainly thanks to Mann's book. The climax amounts to the very conciliatory forgiveness of a nation defined by an all-powerful elite.
