If there ever were to be a story of not just how transitory beauty is, but of how shallow too - then it has to be this documentary film. Kristina Lindström starts us off in the grubby and filthy apartment of Björn Andrésen. His neighbours are threatening to have him evicted if he doesn't up his game... Who is he and why should we care? Well we are quickly taken back fifty years to auditions held by Luchino Visconti…
In 1971, due to the world premiere of Death in Venice, Italian director Lucino Visconti proclaimed his Tadzio as the world’s most beautiful boy. A shadow that today, 50 years later, weighs Björn Andrésen’s life.
