wondered if the Queen and Princess Anne enjoyed the Royal premier of the film( Death In Venice) in London? Certainly a masterpiece, the photography is stunning, as is Bogarde's performance. This film totally holds up today in a climate where much contemporary Cinema is quite frankly reduced to shallow CGI led rubbish. Visconti was a unique artist, this documentary is a fascinating insight into his philosophy and creative process. Thanks for posting :-)

I like him even better than Bergman and Kubrick. Luchino is supreme.

Thank you so much for adding this documentary! He was a amazing man and very inspiring. I wish i could possess the ability to do and create exactly what I want and not feel any interest in others and what they think. To feel above the masses most be amazing.

[GordonMorrice]

The Queen and Princess Anne went to the premiere of Death in Venice? Niiiiiiiice! Not my favourite of the Count's films, but it is a film of mesmerising artistry and Bogarde is amazing in what must surely be an emotionally draining role.

Gustav Mahler

No.5 (4. Sehr langsam)

[johndoe121213]

the music in this documentary is also very beautiful.does anyone know who the composer is,and what pice is it?

[axavild]

perche non e` in italiano? :(

[shibumi2007]

Visconti is the Italian movie director loved most in Japan.

The new research book about Visconti is still published in Japan.

Yukio Mishima loved his work. And I also love Visconti.

Person like D'Annunzio, music like Wagner or Mahler ,

clothes like Chanel, and construction like Ludvig castle.

Visconti is familiar with these things from child.

Therefore, his work is the only real thing about these.

Ludvig and Krupp are relatives for him.

[gene3001]

i think it is partly true. but in my opinion director visconti viewed the subject from a more critical view. not the same way of novelist mishima loved those things.

[shibumi2007]

Thank you for your comment.

Your point about the difference of the viewpoint of

Visconti and Mishima is correct.

Visconti's realism maybe came from the aspect of the proletarian movement.

However, Fellini is also so, after the excitement of the neo-realism movement, their essence is clarified.

Visconti was confessing in the mournful sentence to Chanel.

he traveled around Germany before WW2, and became crazy about the fascism.

[shibumi2007]

Because the fascism movement in the age was unbelievably beautiful for him.

However, he chose not the sense of beauty but the Intelligence of communism.

Like this...

Visconti had two character of realism and romanticism,

therefore He understood German's romanticism.

Aschenbach also said, Beauty and intelligence are another one.

Mishima went mad to beauty, Visconti stayed in the middle of them.

Mahler's 5th symphony-adagietto movement used in the film:

"Death in Venice" by Visconti

[europecinema]

It's Mahler but now I don't know which symphony exactly it is...

[yogagal50]

see my reply above: It is Mahler's 5th, the adagietto movement

[Snafuski]

@europecinema  5th symphony.

[gene3001]

opening music of this clip is NOT sym no.5. althogh we hear no.5 in later part of this documentary. i think this OPENING MUSIC is used in the title of 'innocent',his last film.

so consult dvd or screen,or seach the soundtrack info on web. i will do so from now on...

[GordonMorrice]

It has been said that in Visconti's film of Thomas Mann's novel, "Death in Venice", the main character - Gustav von Aschenbach - was based on Mahler, specifically during the period of his life when he was ill and was having difficulty in coming to terms with his politically-motivated conversion to Catholicism.

Merci for this excellent doc.Could you post highlights of "Vague stelle dell orsa"/"Sandra" directed by the maestro in 1965 with Clausia Cardinale?

[europecinema]

Though I don't have this movie on DVD I think a friend of mine can lend me his copy... I'll try... Thanks for your great suggestion!

[3tristan]

This is great!!! Visconti is one of my favorite directors. I have 13 of his films on DVD and have seen his Don Carlo (Verdi) in the theater.

I hope this excellent documentary will come out on DVD too.
