Anecdotes
The boy on whom Tadzio was based, Wladyslaw Gerard Jan Nepomuk Marya Moes, was only 10 in May 1911.

Gaffes
A scene near the end of the film shows a beautiful setting sun over the water. But the beach of Venice's Lido faces east, and the sun sets only in the west. The sunset from the Lido beach cannot be seen over water.

Citations
Alfred: Do you know what lies at the bottom of the mainstream? Mediocrity.

Autres versions
The 'pan and scan' VHS released in 1993 by Warner Home Video has an extended overture of music over black - and after the opening titles goes to a hard cut, mid-shot, of Bogarde sitting on the deck of a ship (totally omitting the opening establishing shot of the the ship at sea in long shot - and much of the subsequent establishing shot of Bogarde.)

One of the greatest foreign films ever

Death in Venice is a must see for all of those interested in "great" film-making. I regard the film as essential watching. The final scene, in which the lovesick middle aged man watching a beautiful boy as his absurd makeup runs and he dies of the plague is one of the most horrific and sad in film history. Featuring the music of Gustav Mahler, we are visited by the dark, amber strains of his Fourth Symphony as we visit Venice, which has been beset with the plague. A middle aged man falls in love with a teenage boy, and is heartsick from afar. This is sumptuous, heartbreaking film-making. A must see.
