Director Luchino Visconti (The Leopard, Death in Venice) brings his famed majestic style to this lavish and operatic portrait of Ludwig II, the 19th century '"mad king" of Bavaria, whose obsession with Wagner's music inspired him to build fairytale castles and finally to lose his already-fragile grip on his sanity. From his glittering coronation to his mysterious suicide, Helmut Berger portrays the emotionally unstable Ludwig through all his madness in this late masterpiece from the most aristocratic and enigmatic of Italy's filmmakers. Also starring Trevor Howard, Silvana Mangano, Gert Frobe, Romy Schneider.
