	UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN (WIDESCREEN) + DEATH IN VENICE - DVDs
		In that sense, Death in Venice lacks a certain tact, although the first and perhaps more immediately valid charge usually levelled at the film is that it's almost absurdly soporific.
		Warner's Death in Venice platter presents the film in a pleasing 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer.
		The 1.0 mono track on offer here is a tad inexplicable (disappointingly so), as Death in Venice, like A Clockwork Orange, another music-heavy film from the same year (and distributor), was recorded in four-channel stereo.

	BBC - BBC Four Cinema - Death in Venice
		Death in Venice scooped four Baftas and won Visconti the 25th Anniversary Prize at the Cannes Film Festival.

	Death In Venice
		Coming when Aschenbach’s spirits are highest during his stay in Venice, the Mittersnatchlied marks the aesthetic and moral center, and in a film where the architecture of mood complements the architecture of form it is the highpoint of formal and emotive organization.
		It is in the matter of betrayal that Visconti makes his most important revisions on the text of Death in Venice.
		Venice is to Nietzsche ‘another word’ for both music and the South, of that happiness of which he was unable to think without a sudden ‘shudder of fear.’

	Death in Venice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The novella Death in Venice was written in German by Thomas Mann, and was first published in 1912 as Der Tod in Venedig.
		Aged Gustav von Aschenbach - a novelist in the novel, a composer in the film- travels to Venice, where he becomes obsessed with the stunning beauty of an adolescent boy named Tadzio.
		By today's standards, von Aschenbach would be categorised as a predatory paedophile and arrested for stalking the boy through the streets of Venice, but he is purely entranced by the boy's unattainable beauty, explicitly showing the homosexual dimension of Mann's writings and his eroticism.

		Homosexual attraction in Death In Venice is such an isolated, intellectual quest that it has no carnality, and becomes something like a mania or temporary fever-induced mental attack.
		Very dated and paced like clotted cream, Death In Venice is too introverted and delicate for its own good.

		I picked up "Death in Venice" on DVD after reading Thomas Mann's novella for a class.
		Trivia: 'Dirk Boragde' based his appearance on that of the distinguished composer/conductor Gustav Mahler, whose Fifth and Third Symphonies were adapted as background music for the film.
		Goofs: Continuity: When Aschenbach first asks the hotel manager about the situation in Venice, the manager finishes by saying, "There's nothing to worry about." His glasses are on his face.

		BBC - Films- Death In Venice DVD
		Death In Venice may be "a turgid adaptation of Thomas Mann's story of sexual obsession" but it's tempting to revisit due to an exquisite performance by Dirk Bogarde.
		Not only is he sublime as the camp composer Gustav Aschenbach, but on the DVD he unwittingly provides a key reason for the film's self-indulgence and shapelessness.

	' Death in Venice,' Review on Broadway.com
		The interior subtlety of Mann's portrait makes Death in Venice a difficult work to "open up" into drama, as illustrated by Luchino Visconti's uneven 1971 film.
		Love and death-or eros and thanatos, as the lofty-minded Aschenbach might have it-are two sides of the same coin in Death in Venice.
		The name of Venice, city of lovers, calls to mind a gallery of romantic tableaux, of which the foremost must be the gondola ride: the happy couple nestled gently in one another's arms, as the boat rushes swiftly through the water.

	Film review: Elizabethtown - Boston.com
		The over-elaborate film, screened Out of Competition at the Venice International Film Festival, would be far better off losing a third of its 133 minutes and its unnecessary length may contribute to a slack box office unless the sparks that finally occur between the leads prompts positive word of mouth.
		Before he can pedal himself to death, however, his father dies while visiting Elizabethtown, Kentucky, where he grew up, and Drew is ordered by his sister and mother to travel from their Oregon home to collect his body.
		It's that, along with the chemistry of Bloom and Dunst, and the great open roads of the American mid-south and west that make the film worth seeing.

	AEGiS-AFP News: South Africa's 'Yesterday' film shows pain of AIDS in Zululand - August 26, 2004
		"Yesterday", written and directed by South African filmmaker Daryl James Roodt, is about a poor, young HIV-positive mother struggling to raise her daughter alone in a desolate landscape, while coming to terms with her imminent death from AIDS.
		After premiering in Durban in June, the film opens in cinemas across South Africa on Friday and will be featured at the Venice Film Festival next week before heading to the Toronto Film Festival in September.
		While Singh and Roodt, who have made nine movies together, hoped the film would inspire some viewers to act against the AIDS pandemic, they were careful not to make a movie that "preached" to people.

	Chicago Reader Movie Review
		The film feels both cozy and oppressive as it deals frankly with one character's death wish, familial and romantic love, the power of a cult to drive a member toward suicide, the sustaining warmth of a circle of friends, and the seductive allure of both art and oblivion.
		The Exiles was featured on the cover of Film Quarterly in the early 60s and was well received at the Venice film festival.
		The film seems to suggest that witchcraft both exists and works, but the uncertainty we continue to have about some events and characters is a mark of Lewton's influence.

		With performances in such films as Death in Venice, Accident and Providence, Bogarde was a giant of intellectual cinema.
		Many of the greatest film directors began their careers as graphic designers, painters or illustrators, but aside from the few established artist- directors such as Derek Jarman and Jean Cocteau, little is known of their creative work outside the medium of film.
		A mixture of public and private, this is an intricate dissection of the world of film, awards ceremonies, music and the media.

	OFFOFFOFF film review THE BATTLE OF ALGIERS Italian movie by Gillo Pontecorvo with Brahim Haggiag, Jean Martin, Yacef Saadi, Samia Kerbash, Ugo Paletti, Fusia El Kader, Omar written by Gillo Pontecorvo, Franco Solinas
		The film, made in 1965 by Italian director Gillo Pontecorvo and commissioned by the fledgling Algerian government, won top honors at the Venice Film Festival and has been hailed as a cinematic milestone, but has not been available on video for years.
		Shot on the streets of Algiers using mostly non-actors, including many who were actually involved in the resistance against French colonial occupation, the film grippingly recreates the origins of the anti-French movement.
		It is enjoying a resurgence now because of its horrifying resemblance to current events — it's said to have been used for training by both the IRA and British troops, more recently by the Pentagon, and by anyone else with a life-and-death interest in occupation, resistance and urban warfare.
