In this adaptation of the Thomas Mann novel, avant-garde composer Gustave Aschenbach (loosely based on Gustav Mahler) travels to a Venetian seaside resort in search of repose after a period of artistic and personal stress. But he finds no peace there, for he soon develops a troubling attraction to an adolescent boy, Tadzio, on vacation with his family. The boy embodies an ideal of beauty that Aschenbach has long sought and he becomes infatuated. However, the onset of a deadly pestilence threatens them both physically and represents the corruption that compromises and threatens all ideals.

Roger Ebert
The wind brings both plague and beauty, which is its function in the Mann novel, and Viscontis mastery of visual style almost succeeds in creating the very ideas and feelings that his heavy handed narrative entirely misses. ( Read More )
Dennis Schwartz
Visconti keeps it campy, lushly photographed and has too many overblown hollow emotional scenes that seem ludicrous and hardly poignant to warrant too much praise. ( Read More )
Despite the omissions from Manns text, dependence on flashbacks, and overwrought arguments about art and music between Aschenbach and a colleague, it remains a film of great beauty. ( Read More )
