Graderings en resensies

The film is shot in Venice, with stunningly beautiful photography and a haunting soundtrack based on Mahler's 5th symphony. A truly sad story of desperacy, love and loneliness. Must see classic.

Both tender and emotional. Brilliantly shot movie. Simply classic. And as for the music....Mahler at his best.

This is beautiful
