The Most Beautiful Boy in the World

Kristina LINDSTROM Kristian PETRI 2021 Sweden Documentary color 94min Swedish, French, En DCP
In 1970, filmmaker Luchino VISCONTI travelled throughout Europe looking for the perfect boy for his film adaptation Death in Venice. In Stockholm, he discovered Bjorn ANDRESEN, a shy 15-year-old teenager whom he brought to international fame overnight and led to spend a short but intense part of his turbulent youth between the Lido in Venice, London, the Cannes Film Festival and the so distant Japan. Fifty years after the premiere of Death in Venice, Bjorn takes us on a remarkable journey made of personal memories, cinema history, stardust and tragic events in what could be Bjorn’s last attempt for him to finally get his life back on track.
