Death in Venice

Ending the credits by director Count Luchino Visconti (descendant of the 13th century Milanese dynasty), with music from composer Gustav Mahler, and the liminal introduction of the protagonist, composer Gustav von Aschenbach (Dirk Bogarde), from Death In Venice, 1971.

Convalescing composer von Aschenbach (Dirk Bogarde) grows more fascinated with the Polish boy (Bjorn Andresen) then reflects once more on conversation with his student Alfried (Mark Burns), Luchino Visconti directing, from the Thomas Mann novella, in Death In Venice, 1971.

Arrived in 1911 Venice, ailing German composer von Aschenbach (Dirk Bogarde) gets too much attention from his hotel manager (Romolo Valli), then reflects on earlier events, Mark Burns as his concerned student Alfried, early in Luchino Visconti’s Death In Venice, 1971.
