A masterful, symphonic study of sensuality and decay adapted from the Thomas Mann novella.
Dirk Bogarde (THE SERVANT) stars as Gustav von Aschenbach, a celebrated, ageing composer facing a creative crisis.
Entranced by the ethereal beauty of a Polish youth (Björn Andrésen) who seems to embody his ideals of physical perfection and spiritual purity, von Aschenbach succumbs to a fateful obsession.
