Director Luchino Visconti (Death in Venice, The Leopard) brings all of his famed majestic style to bear on this lavish and operative portrait of Ludwig II, the nineteenth-century 'mad king' of Bavaria, whose obsession with Wagner's music inspired him to build fairytale castles and finally lose his already-fragile grip on his sanity.

Helmut Berger (The Damned), Trevor Howard (Brief Encounter), Romy Schneider (Maedchen In Uniform) and Silvena Mangano (Death In Venice) star in this late masterpiece from the most aristocratic and enigmatic of Italy's great film-makers.
