The Most Beautiful Boy in the World 15
In 1970, filmmaker Luchino Visconti travelled throughout Europe looking for the perfect boy to personify absolute beauty in his adaptation of Death in Venice. In Stockholm, he discovered Björn Andrésen, a shy 15-year-old whom he brought to international fame overnight.
Fifty years after the premiere of Death in Venice, Björn takes us on a remarkable journey made of personal memories, cinema history, stardust and tragic events. A stunning expose on the true cost of fame and fortune.
