Ludwig II
Attraction, movie poster movie poster for the 1973 epic biographical drama film
Ludwig (also known as Ludwig II or Ludwig: Requiem for a Virgin King). The film was co-written and directed by the acclaimed Italian director Luchino Visconti.
The film is the third and final part of Visconti's "German Trilogy" and stars Helmut Berger as King Ludwig II of Bavaria and Romy Schneider as Empress Elisabeth of Austria. It also features an impressive international cast including Trevor Howard as Richard Wagner, Silvana Mangano, Gert Fröbe, and Helmut Griem.
The movie delves into the life and eventual downfall of the "Mad King" of Bavaria, focusing on his complex personality, his obsession with Wagner's music, his lavish spending on fairytale castles, and his relationships, rather than a straightforward historical account.
