OUTHERE Orchestra E Coro Del Teatro La Fenice, Bruno Bartoletti - Britten: Death In Venice (Blu-ray)

Halfway through watching Criterion's Blu-ray I took a short break and my wife, hearing Mahler seeping through the ceiling separating us, asked if I was watching Death in Venice . After listening to my criticisms, she countered that it was one of her favorite films. "Why?" I asked. "Because that boy is beautiful ! You don't get it: it's a movie for women and gay men," she insisted. Maybe so. It still doesn't work for me, with its visual sumptuous, more obvious in this Blu-ray release, only accentuating the weakness of its adaptation. Still definitely worth seeing once, and for its presentation and its supplements it's Recommended.
