the most boring movie i've ever set my eyes on? the whole movie consists only of endless gazing of the two main protagonists and a few pompous contemplations about art, beauty, old age... dirk bogarde seems better than this.

Morte a Venezia
A beautiful film with difficult themes.

Never has a film about dying so beautifully photographed. This is also a sombre, melancholic mood-piece that daringly explores hefty subject matters such as the inevitability of death, unattainable perfection and cruelty of youth. Visconti’s vision of beauty and Great Art maybe flawed, but such is life.

I couldn't get into this one at all.

Vacationing in Venice in an attempt to recoup his health, widowed composer Gustav von Aschenbach (Dirk Bogarde) immediately finds himself at odds with the city and its comparatively laid back approach to life. Before he can bring himself to leave his room at the Grand Hôtel des Bains, however, he is stricken: first by Tadzio (Björn Andrésen), a beautiful young Polish boy on holiday with his family, and later by cholera as it proceeds to poison the surrounding Po and Piave rivers.

Puedo entender a los que les gusta mucho y no es gusta nada. A mi me ha gustado, pero moderadamente. Por un lado veo en ella una reflexión interesante sobre la belleza, el arte y como se corresponden con la vida, me atrae mucho por ahí. Pero también la veo una película si pasión, a veces se recrea demasiado, al igual que hace su protagonista, en simplemente buscar la belleza. Me gusta, pero me quedo en tierra de nadie, ni me parece tan buena como a unos , ni tan mala como a otros.

Dirk Bogarde's tour de force

Laiska, neaprakstāmi lēna, totāli bezcerīga, vietām sāpīgi neaizsargāta un kopumā ļoti nomācoša filma par to, ka mēs visi mirsim.
Šķiet, ka tagad tādas vairs netaisa.
