Searching for Tadzio

00:00:02 IN SEARCH OF TADZIO

00:01:28 The story of Aschenbach, a famous German writer...

00:02:20 - You're renewing an old thing... - A very old project, yes.

00:03:32 - Yes, my films are very different, because there are many themes...

00:05:58 How did exactly Thomas Mann describe Tadzio?

00:06:42 It was the 6th or 7th boy who appeared at the tryout in the little room...

00:08:08 [in French] - Smile a bit, smile. Thanks, picture.

00:09:52 [in German] - Thank you, good-bye.

00:11:19 [in French] - No don't move. Smile, into the camera.

00:12:41 ...in the long journey that took him...

00:13:47 The main events happen inside the protagonist:

00:14:53 The Swedish boy from Stockholm really looked like Tadzio

00:15:57 [in French] - He did some theatre and Tv.

00:16:57 -No, the character doesn't speak much.

00:18:01 ...like Tadzio, in today's young Polish boys.

00:18:46 A true aristocrat. But Mann didn't speak only about perfection.

00:19:39 “...language of hatred. He averted his glance, beheld them another time,"

00:21:02 Visconti examines, re-checks and verifies...

00:22:50 “...who seeks to conceal himself from the multitude of possibilities...”

00:24:09 Beyond Lido, all Venice, in which the threatening sea penetrates;

00:24:47 “...a strange aroma in the air, which it seemed he had registered...”

00:26:32 -Venice. -Venice?

00:27:50 ...Bjorn Andersen, is the perfect Tadzio.
