Bjorn is so breathtakingly beautiful you think there is a lot of make up on him. But no, in the casting test he looks EXACTLY like in the film. It's almost scary. He was born to play the most beautifyul boy ever existed.
@anniemihn To me he just looks like a girl with a penis. No masculine traits on him whatsoever. Which is exactly what pre pubescent is. If a girl had masculine traits she would be regarded as a freak.
It's kind of amazing... I read the novel, and I instantly thought about him "he looks exatcly like Tazio"-but I didn't know he actually played his role in the movie. They really couldn't have chosen a better candidate for this role.
Despite the homoerotic elements of Mann's novella and especially Visconti's film, the story is much more than that. Mann wrote on many levels simultaneously. Some higher levels are particularly sophisticated and require a broad education and specific knowledge of his times and language (more recent translations are better than the old.) Mann's actual experience in Venice: "Tadzio" was Wladyslaw Moes, and the friend was Janek Fudakowska. Wladzio read the book in 1923 and recognized himself.
L'apollineo attore quindicenne ha, inevitabilmente, ceduto il passo al tempo.
Mi stringe il cuore immaginare ilcarico che deve aver portato l'uomo Bjorn fino al momento del'esternazione di quell' opportuno invito, da parte del clan di vecchie kekke, a fare un giro di valzer nel gay bar.

Has anyone seen or read the book, "The Real Tadzio", about the actual boy who inspired Thomas Mann's novel? He was not very good looking at all....Bjorn certainly fits the descpription in the novella much much better. He is a better Tadzio than the real thing.
and i also saw a picture of the real tadzio...but let me say bjorn andresen is so muuuch better! as u said, he fits thomas mann' s description sooo much better!!!
And well, we must certainly thank Luchino Visconti ...HE found out Bjorn, and HE gave us this beautiful beautiful dream !!!
Hi-I would like to ask you a favor, please. I'm not only a fan of our "beloved subject" here but a writer and an artist, and I love this video so much for the feelings it invokes--as well as a few other made videos--I would like to ask you for a download or some such to preserve it. They help my work tremendously in an emotional way. I've had a couple of my most loved vid's yanked, & I don't want to lose this. Can you help me? Would be much appreciated in so many ways! Thank you-

Layer after layer after layer and some I may not have yet realized.Thomas Mann's masterpiece beautifully brought to the screen by Luchino Visconti with some of the most incredibly beautiful music.I loved it.
Does anyone have any current photos of Bjorn Anderson? He is so very beautiful. We have new anti aging technologies now that can make one look much younger, but not exactly like a hot teenager.
Tadzio ( by the figure of Björn Andrésen) is the personification of iconic beauty. And in my beliefs, this beauty can be admired, of course. We all have eyes and the perception to see and judge things we see. But all the Tadzios around, under 18, shall be admired only. It's not respectful to touch a child(yes, 15 is a child). Just look.
Björn Andrésen was beautiful. Tadzio was elected as the 'most beautiful boy on Earth'. That's to admire.
5. No one is "leering and drooling" over him, these people here commenting on this video are just appreciating his beauty and innocence, which is what the entire work of art is about. The sick perverts are the ones who degrade this film into something dirty and vulgar (which it is most certainly not)
I have read Mann's book. It IS all about lusting after a boy in order to molest him you deceiver.
WHY ELSE would a grown man stare and drool over a young adolescent boy? To ask him to a Cub's game?
Looking and leering leads to a forcible sex rape...which happens ALL the time now days because of sick liberal Freaks like you who ALLOW child molestation to go on.
Sickos.
Who here want's to say publicly that a grown man lusting and STALKING after a young boy is OK?
He was so beautiful. But his beauty faded very fast. By the time he was in his 20s, he looked very different. Do you know the character Lestat from the Vampire Chronicles? I imagine this is what a 15 year old Lestat would look like. The wavy blond hair and the blue gray eyes, especially.
He reminded me of Lestat because of the blond hair, just at a younger age. But you're right, he would also make a perfect Armand. But I think his hair would have to be a bit darker (auburn), and also Armand had brown eyes.
if you're refering to tadzio (alias Bjorn andresen) well, i think his best movie is death in venice, but he's also in 'A Swedish Lovestory' and the movie 'The Pelican'...did i answered to your question?
Does someone know where I could find Bjorn's music? I know that he recorded two(?) songs at least, while in Japan. Also, he did some commercials there. Please help. Thanks a bunch!
Ah ...i know he recorded for CBs/Sony "forever together" and "for loving"...and i know that he played also with Sven Eric's dance band ... but i really don't know where you could find these musics. sorry ...
Oh, that's too bad, but thank you so much for letting me know! May I ask you for a favor: since you speak this beautiful Italian, would you please tell me what Visconti is saying to his assistant in a red shirt in All Ricerca Di Tadzio, part 3/3? Thank you, once again!
It's from 1:36 till 2:06 in Alla ricerca di Tadzio 3/3 (the whole part lasts 3:33, but I don't need all of it). Wow, thanks for responding so quickly, you are a sweetheart! Also, I wanted to thank you for posting this video, and the song is superb!
At first Visconti calls the assistamt wearing the red shirt, Mario and asks him to make Bjorn some close-up...-"right, left, the face...and bare-chested too!!!"- he says.
Then when Visconti and teh assistant are framed, Mario asks V. -" Havent' you found anyone still(for Tadzio's part) ?"
Oh, my God! This is brilliant! Your English is NOT awful, far from it! Only 17 and you are fluent. You can be proud! You know, my next project is to start learning Italian, because it's such a beautiful language, soft and musical. Thank you so much again!
Ahahha xD thanks a lot! ^-^(even if that's all thanks to my pest teachers...and btw I have to improve my english still XD). Btw I really wish for you to learn properly Italian ; I think it's a very difficult language but it's also one of the most poetic and beautiful! And then...who knows, you may come to venice one day and it'll profit you sooo much!XD
Hi, I believe you that the Italian language is very complex; after all, it stems from Latin, which I had at school. I fell in love with the Italian language after reading Elizabeth Gilbert's book "Eat, Pray, Love". On her self-discovery mission, she takes a year long trip and her first stop is Italy! One funny part tells about her attending a soccer match, where she wanted to learn all the proper swear words that they don't teach at school. Even they sound beautiful! Ciao!
haha my friends havent heard of him either XD I guess its most "old" people here in sweden who know who he is sence Björn won a lot of prices when he was a kid, Think he's more famous in other countries =)
And then my dad called him up and said "Whatta hell it was you in the film wasn't it?!" Yes said Björn and just laughed haha, and sence then they've been buddies, he looks just like he did when he was a kid, same thick hair and all, I usually play guitar with Björn when he's here while he's playing piano, he's really talented. I had no idea he was this famous haha
Yes but I had no idea he was famous the first time he was here, my father told me after he left, my dad met him at a bar and when they were leaving my dad said "well now I'm going home to see death in venice with my wife" and at this point my dad didnt know who Björn was.
amazing film & actor

I like the music ;). The lyrics of the song appeal to the "reach the unreachable"-topic of the movie/book.
And the aura of Björn is really unworldly although he reminds me a bit of the Argentinian football player Gabriel Heinze :DD
