Historical evocation of Ludwig, king of Bavaria, from his crowning in 1864 until his death in 1886, as a romantic hero. Fan of Richard Wagner, betrayed by him, in love with his cousin Elisabeth of Austria, abandonned by her, tormented by his homosexuality, he will little by little slip towards madness.

"FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★★★ NOTES: Tremendous Cinecittà print, including title cards before each part and an 18-minute interval; a rare occasion in which this film was screened on film to UK audiences in its uncut form. A couple of frames were damaged, but that could just be the fault of the source print. DATE: January 12th 2024 CINEMA: BFI LOCATION: Southbank"

"5.3. Luchino Viscontin nelituntisessa megaeepoksessa EI TAPAHDU YHTÄÄN MITÄÄN. Se kuvaa yläluokkaista glamööriä rikkauksilla hekumoiden, ja heittää loppuun vähän hihihihi, hallitsija on hullu -meininkiä, jotta tavallinenkin katsoja tajuaisi, miten hitsin vaikeaa niillä rikkailla voikaan olla. Tuotannon osalta elokuva on kaiketi melko pätevää tavaraa, mutta se ei kiinnostanut minkään vertaa. Neljä tuntia pelkkää tappotylsää on aika kova koettelemus."
