Aschenbach is delicately played by Dirk Bogarde.
When perusing the novel I imagined Tadzio quite different: less effeminate, definitely younger than Bjorn Andresen was at the time. I thought Aschenbach fell in love with a boy, not girl in a boy's body, his love was Platonic in the only true sense of the word. And that's where the poignancy came from..
But I assume Visconti had his own reasons to make the film the way it is, with Fin de siècle galore and Mahler's unforgettable Adagietto.
Great film, great upload. Thank you, Apokarteron.
P.S.
See Silvana Mangano in a brief cameo as one of Tadzio's many Polish relatives.
