"Ludwig" was a mammoth project. It took several years after Visconti's death for his usual collaborators (d'Amico, Nanuzzi) to gather the missing sequences and re-edit the film into a cut as close to Visconti's idea as it could be. It is a bit too overlong and it drags at places and some sequences could have been shorter without the plot missing anything. Helmut Berger is quite good and has a remarkable resemblance to the real Ludwig, the real Bavarian locations are breathtaking. The show more cinematography alone makes "Ludwig" worth watching. This movie has gained some appreciation and seems to be getting better reviews nowadays. Many call it Visconti's lost masterpiece, although I don't think it is one of his greatest works thematically speaking. show less
I watched this on a recommendation, but I won't recommend it. The plot is difficult to follow, some of the acting is awful, some of it is great, and I found it to be a total mess.
