Acknowledgements Introduction 1. Ludwig 2. Death in Venice 3. The Damned Conclusion Bibliography Index
A philosophical approach to the classic films of Luchino Visconti, one of Europe’s most prestigious auteurs.
Joan Ramon Resina is Professor of Iberian and Latin American Cultures and Comparative Literature, Stanford University, USA. He is the author and editor of many books most recently The Ghost in the Constitution: Historical Memory and Denial in Spanish Society (2017) and Joseph Pla: The World Seen in the Form of Articles (2017).
An original, productive approach to a major filmmaker with
unmistakable philosophical relevance, makes a major contribution
not just to the study of Visconti’s legacy but to the exploration
of the dialogue between film, history and philosophy.

A wonderful book of oxymoric strenghts: provocative, yet made to
become a standard work; lucid in its analytic abstraction, yet
palpably concrete; aesthetic, yet political; historical, yet for
our times.
