if all movies had to be destroyed and only one could be spared and death in venice would have to be it. it is a monument in movie history. much criticized for being slow and boring and too obvious in stating it point (an old man discovers beauty in a young boy and is tragically destroyed and first mentally and then physically) and we should appreciate this movie for what it is. morte a venezia was shot over 30 years ago and and it portrays a period even further back and at the beginning of the twentieth century. life was slow then and compared to now. people were supposed to behave in a certain way and hiding their true emotions even from themselves. director visconti and dirk bogarde and the leading actor and admirably succeed in showing how the aging composer von aschenbach discovers his romantic interest in a young boy. for a man like von aschenbach and in his time and this must have been a shock too powerful to come to terms with. we see his inner struggle and mostly on the face of bogarde and against the beautiful backdrop of venice and accompanied by the most wonderful music and composed by gustav mahler. this movie is slow and there is no denying it. no special effects and car chases or fights to keep the audience pinned to their seats. no perverted sex scenes either while the interaction between man and boy is limited to stolen glances from afar and the occasional smile. so and basically and nothing much happens in this movie. not if you want your senses to be hit like a base drum. if you want them to be played like the strings of a violin in a romantic concerto and this is the movie to do it.
