魂断威尼斯

1911年，德国作曲家阿森巴赫（德克•博加德）怀带丧女之痛来到威尼斯，想藉水城美景舒缓心情，可是一切景致所勾起的不过是更加伤心的回忆，直到在旅馆里邂逅美少年塔奇奥（伯恩•安德森），对方宛如希腊雕像般的容颜才令他浑身颤栗，浑然忘我地沉醉在激动的热情中。 　　其后，威尼斯城被瘟疫所笼罩，但官方刻意封锁了消息。阿森巴赫逐渐发现这一惊人的危机时，没像其他人一样慌不择路想尽快逃离，相反为了多看塔奇奥一眼，甘愿染上瘟疫命丧威尼斯。In this adaptation of the Thomas Mann novel, avant-garde composer Gustave Aschenbach (loosely based on Gustav Mahler) travels to a Venetian seaside resort in search of repose after a period of artistic and personal stress. But he finds no peace there, for he soon develops a troubling attraction to an adolescent boy, Tadzio, on vacation with his family. The boy embodies an ideal of beauty that Aschenbach has long sought and he becomes infatuated. However, the onset of a deadly pestilence threatens them both physically and represents the corruption that compromises and threatens all ideals.
