Still Tired
as it were...
I know exactly what you're talking about! I guess that's why I found it so amazing... I didn't see the film (I was too young and easily bored when it was shown on telly ) but I read the book some years ago. It's a fascinating topic. However, I don't like Venice too much I'm afraid...
I saw the film on TV last year, it was on in the middle of the night which seemed to aid my appreciation for it somehow, I just kinda watched it in a half dazed state! I don't think it's many people's cup of tea it seems, my dad saw some of it and made some crack of being able to see why it was called death in venice- dying of boredom! Such appreciation! I bought the book of it as well and was able to gain a new enjoyment through that.
