Dokumentären hade lätt kunnat bli en riktig snyftare, men nej. ”Världens vackraste pojke” är ofta djupt tragisk, men aldrig sentimental, inte ens när Björn i nutid äntligen försöker ta reda på vad som hände med hans mamma Barbro.

What is The Most Beautiful Boy in the World about? Toggle content

In 1970, Björn Andrésen was just a shy 15-year-old boy when he was discovered by renowned filmmaker Luchino Visconti. Overnight, Björn became an international sensation and the personification of absolute beauty in Visconti's adaptation of Thomas Mann's "Death in Venice." For the next several years, Björn lived a whirlwind life, jetting between glamorous film festivals and movie sets. But the glamour soon faded, and Björn found himself struggling to come to terms with the shadow of his past. Now, 50 years later, Björn takes us on a deeply personal journey as he tries to make sense of his life and find peace. Through a mix of memories, cinema history, stardust, and tragic events, Björn's story is one unlike any other.
