The TVI Take
Luchino Visconti's 1971 Thomas Mann adaptation about an aging German composer (Dirk Bogarde) becoming obsessed with a teenage Polish boy at a Venice hotel during a cholera epidemic. The structural commitment to letting Mahler's Fifth Symphony render the protagonist's interior cognitive register, and Pasqualino De Santis's Oscar-nominated cinematography, is canonical Visconti work.
