Review of Death in Venice (1971) by Tim J — 26 Jun 2008
A wee bit hammily me thinks, Dirk Bogarde plays the appalled-by-his-own-decrepitude and obsessed-with-death-and-decay Gustave Aschenbach in this very slow but poignant film. You may have heard or read this film is a bit paedo-y but it's not Aschenbach's eye that rests on the buttocks of small boys as much as director Visconti's.
