The Most Beautiful Boy in the World
Directed by Kristian Petri, Kristina Lindström
Produced by Mantaray Film, Jonas Gardell Produktion
A melancholic, introspective documentary portrait examining how a single moment of beauty and celebrity fame cast a lifelong shadow over an artist's identity and autonomy.
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.
