Description

Luchino Visconti directs this acclaimed version of Thomas Mann's novel.

Gustav van Aschenbach (Dirk Bogarde) is an aging German composer who is visiting Venice.

Having given up on his existence, he is stirred from his torpor by a young boy named Tadzio (Bjorn Andresen) who seems to represent his ideal of physical beauty and purity.

The character of von Aschenbach was modelled on Gustav Mahler, whose music is heard throughout the film.
