In 1971, at the world premiere of Death in Venice in London, Italian director Luchino Visconti proclaimed Björn Andrésen, the teen star of his latest film, "The Most Beautiful Boy in the World.” This is the story of a boy who was thrust to international stardom for his iconic looks and lived a life of glamour. 50 years later, Björn looks back.
A haunting psychologically probing portrait of Bjorn Andresen, the film dwells persuasively on how sudden fame can ruin a young life, bypassing any perks of stardom.
