The Most Beautiful Boy in the World (Swedish: Världens vackraste pojke) is a 2021 Swedish documentary film about Björn Andrésen and the effects of fame thrust upon him when he appeared in Luchino Visconti 's 1971 film Death in Venice.
Sep 23, 2021 · In “The Most Beautiful Boy in the World,” a heart-wrenching documentary, co-directors Kristina Lindström and Kristian Petri puncture the uneasy vein of child star building, explaining how often the practice ensnares the vulnerable.
Fifty years after the premiere of Death in Venice, Björn Andrésen, the former teen star who once embodied legendary character Tadzio in Visconti’s masterpiece, takes us on a remarkable journey of personal memories, cinema history, stardust and tragedy in what could be Björn’s last attempt to finally get his life back on track.
From his manager Max Seki to manga artist Riyoko Ikeda, who popularized the series “Lady Oscar” after the likeness of Andresen, they both vocalize, even on a meta level, cultural responses to Andresen. Eerily, it’s a situation which recalls the mega success of The Runaways in Japan, and the spiral of Cherie Currie.
