Marcel Proust, A la recherche du temps perdu, vol. IV (Paris: Bibliothèque de la Pléiade, 1988) 158.

Luchino Visconti's Death in Venice is an impressive film once the viewer realizes that it is almost a silent movie, with the flashback sequences functioning not as the enunciation of a conflict between doctrines that the plot itself illustrates but as a contrasting and ironic reminiscence of words and their triviality. As a silent movie this film points to itself, as it were to the awakening of the dead.
