Morte a Venezia

Lacking plot

Don&apos;t get me wrong, I don&apos;t mind watching films with no plot, they&apos;re nice, but usually they have something else that compensates for it. A fixation on a little boy that does noting, but a 45° turn with his head and looks at you is so lacking. Also the subplots about the epidemic and his former life with a wife and child had brought a little more interest, but filled only a very little part.

Nonetheless I liked the cinematography, there was some really pretty stills, (even though they didn&apos;t fully exploit being in gorgeous Venice), the music was captivating and the dialogues with Alfred was interesting.
