THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BOY IN THE WORLD
In 1970, filmmaker Luchino Visconti travelled through Europe looking for the perfect boy to personify absolute beauty in his film adaptation of Thomas Mann’s novella Death in Venice. In Stockholm, he discovered Björn Andrésen, a shy 15-year-old teenager who was overnight thrust into international fame. . In 1971 at the London premiere of Death in Venice, the director proclaimed his Tadzio as “the world’s most beautiful boy.” Fifty years after the premiere of Death in Venice, Björn takes us on a remarkable journey made of personal memories, cinema history, stardust and tragic events in this fascinating documentary, in what could be Bjorn’s last attempt to finally get his life back on track.Presented by the Embassy of Sweden Pretoria and the Swedish Institute
