Critics Consensus: Luchino Visconti's Death in Venice is one of his emptier meditations on beauty, but fans of the director will find his knack for sumptuous visuals remains intact.

Reviews

The Cinephile Fix

Wael Khairy

“Death in Venice” is a film about humanity’s slow transcendence into nothingness and everything. It exists in the space between life and death, between youth and old age, between ignorance and wisdom.

Visconti finds beauty not only in Andrésen and the exquisite city of love, but also in the storytelling.

Call and Post (Cleveland)

Ulf Goebel

As I watched Death in Venice... I got the feeling I was looking at something rare indeed in the world of films -- a work of art.

Death in Venice plays like an inside joke for Visconti to fool around with homosexual themes at a time when doing so more blatantly would have crossed obscenity lines.

An Italian filmmaker, an English actor, and a German novelist walk into the cinema... Magic results.
