Death in venice (ベニスに死す)is so slow, can be shortend to 90 minutes.



This is a beautifully shot yet slowing-moving movie based on the novel. The best part of this movie is the cinematography and settings in Venice. The plot concerns a composer who falls in love with the adolescent Tadzio, who looks like greek sculputure. The film's major fault is its extreme slow pace. The camera moves about lazily and long stretches pass when no one speaks. From time to time, we are given flashbacks of Aushenbach's life in Germany, but they are mere flickers of memory and not fleshed out at all. What we see mostly are shots of Aushenbach walking around Venice in a feverish daze.I have been looking forward to seeing this movie, but the pace dissapointed me a lot.

Sad to say,
The death in venice is rated ★★
