    • 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 )
    • Emanuel Levy

      Viscontis style and sensibility have stirred controversy among among American critics. ( Read More )
