four decades on – and a world war that could be said that have started from ludwig’s old kingdom of bavaria – two major filmmakers turned to ludwig’s story , with both films appearing first in 1972 . luchino visconti’s italian film is simply called ludwig . hans - jürgen syberberg ‘s german film is ludwig – requiem für einen jungfräulichen könig ( ludwig : requiem for a virgin king ) . both are rich films , using ludwig’s story in vastly differing ways .

hans - jürgen syberberg’s 1972 film ludwig : requiem for a virgin king ( which premiered in new york in july 1980 but was only recently seen by me ) is , most immediately , a brilliantly realized study of the bizarre bavarian monarch , the haunted wagnerophile castle - builder of the late nineteenth century .

the film is not to be confused with luchino visconti ' s ripe 1972 film , ' ' ludwig , ' ' in which helmut berger played ludwig , romy schneider was empress elizabeth of austria , and the running time was about evenly divided between orgies and displays of ceremonial arrivals and departures . ' ' ludwig : requiem for a virgin king ' ' is far more interesting , which is not to say it is completely successful as either cinema or theater .

in ' ' ludwig : requiem for a virgin king , ' ' which he made in 1972 , mr . syberberg was experimenting with the methods he used later in his far longer ( seven and one half hours ) , far more abrasive meditation on hitler , ' ' our hitler , ' ' which was shown in new york earlier this year .

in the same year of visconti’s ludwig , hans jurgen syberberg released ludwig – requiem fur einen jungfraulichen könig ( ludwig – requiem for a virgin king . ) this was to become the first part of syberberg’s german trilogy , with karl may ( 1974 ) and hitler , ein film aus deutschland ( hitler , a film from germany , or our hitler , a film from germany , 1977 ) , which alone has a running time of 442 minutes . karl may ( 1842 - 1912 ) was a popular writer particularly of adventures set in america’s old west . he created the characters of winnetou and old shatterhand who have featured in many german westerns .

or back to the other films where once again we make ludwig endure the agony of his life . unless we’re haunted by the final image of syberberg’s ludwig : requiem for a virgin king . there the child , bearded and dressed royally as ludwig , shambles towards us , white gloves in hand . with a finger , he wipes the tears lining his face while looking squarely at us . in bold white letters superimposed on the screen , appears “requiescat in pace ! ” before dissolving into a maelstrom of blue toned smoke like from a volcano for the film’s final director credit . “rest in peace . ” it becomes more than a blessing asked for ludwig , but also a plea from ludwig . “let me rest in the peace i never had in life . let me free from the curse of lola montez . ”

in 1986 another german filmmaker , christian rischert , returned to ludwig for im ozean der sehnsucht ( in the ocean of longing ) , made for bayerischen rundfunks ( bavarian broadcasting ) . the format of a television documentary allows for speculation and reflection on ludwig’s influences , and legacy not possible in a more narrative film . for example , if ludwig is the last flicker of the concept of the absolute monarch , where did this idea come from , and how did these ideas take hold of ludwig ? rischert looks back to louis xiv and xv of france . some of ludwig’s castle building is clearly linked to his passion for the sun king and versailles .

hans jurgen syberberg ' s ' ' ludwig : requiem for a virgin king , ' ' which opens today at the public theater , is a german movie that owes more to the theater , especially to german cabaret theater , than it does to the cinema . here are a series of sketches and tableaux that , through dialogue , music and spectacle , have the function of a series of essays on the nature and meaning of the life of ludwig ii of bavaria ( 1845 - 86 ) , the mad king who is now remembered chiefly as the patron of richard wagner and as the fellow who built all those crazy castles on the rhine .

in a key tableau scene , ludwig’s ministers actively discuss ludwig’s fate – he must go . progress is needed for roads , automobiles – again , an anachronistic comment spreads the relevance of ludwig’s fate . this scene clearly sees ludwig’s death as a deliberate assassination , with the cover - up carefully planned . as well , the prince regent advises “we will seize his majesty’s personal archives . do not forget that no records , no advice , nothing from his architects , no records at all that could possibly suggest any serious work of ludwig’s must be made known to the public . this would destroy his image as a king of kitsch . ludwig can only remain harmless as a kitsch king . and most important of all , don’t make a martyr of him . ”

up there with films like the seventh seal , fanny and alexander , persona , the virgin spring , wild strawberries and scenes from a marriage .

hans - jurgen syberberg , director of the controversial ' ' our hitler , ' ' started out at the workshop with ' ' ludwig ii - requiem for a virgin king . ' ' peter lilienthal , whose ' ' david , ' ' about a lone jewish survivor hiding out in wartime berlin played last year in new york , has made many films for the workshop , including ' ' calm rules over the country , ' ' a study of fear and dictatorship reminiscent of costa gavras ' ' ' missing . ' '

finally , two of his famous earlier films have been released on video to contextualize that later behemoth , “ludwig : requiem for a virgin king” ( 1972 ) and “karl may” ( 1974 ) , the three of which supposedly comprise a “german trilogy . ” syberberg hardly seems disposed to ever make films about anything else , and it’s an unassailable career project , especially in light of the last decade or so of holocaust movies produced in germany and elsewhere , which have tried to straitjacket and even romanticize the horrifying mystery of german culture’s evolution .

as well , rischert explores these strains of ludwig finally being played out in hitler . it is not fanciful to imagine that ludwig and hitler could have met if ludwig had not died young . ludwig would only have been sixty - nine at the start of world war i , and rischert includes a photograph of a crowd in munich celebrating that event . in that crowd , hitler can be identified . the outcome of that war would create the environment in which hitler could live out ludwig’s dreams of genius and greatness .

ludwig , also , does not survive . he is the king , but he does not understand what it means to be a king at this point of the 19 th century . the king is not just a person with the divine right of power , but also a person with responsibilities . ludwig’s tragedy comes from his inability to accept or handle those responsibilities . his cousin , elizabeth has a deeper , if more cynical , understanding . “monarchs like us don’t make history . we are needed as a facade . unless they give us a little importance by killing us . ”

the camera pulls back to reveal three rhine maidens , posed on rocks , as they speak . “i proclaim the curse of lola montez , the cast - off mistress of ludwig i , the grandfather . cursing all that follows , the incest of the parents , max of bavaria and maria of hohensollern . the birth of ludwig , the last king of bavaria . in the grip of royal madness , furor paranoicus bavariae” they prophesy the birth of a new era , the coming of a new proletariat . “king ludwig has no chance . ”

the story of the legendary king ludwig ii of bavaria ( 1845 - 1886 ) , his opera interest and friendship with theatre personalities such as richard wagner and joseph kainz , and at the same time a reflection of the german 1800s .

these accounts keep in mind the political dimension of ludwig’s life . if he is occupying himself , perhaps losing himself , in the arts and sciences , he is still the ruler , and there are expectations that a state has of its king . we are kept aware of these expectations and responsibilities , even if ludwig is trying to flee them .

æthelstan or athelstan , ( 893 / 895 – 27 october 939 ) was king of the west saxons from 924 to 927 and king of the english from 927 to 939 . he was the son of king edward the elder and his first wife , ecgwynn . in 927 æthelstan conquered the last remaining viking kingdom , york , making him the first ruler to control the whole of england , leading historians to regard him as the first king of england .

rischert is also able to be speculative about how ludwig dies , raising questions about the investigation of ludwig’s death including the autopsy . to start with there is a big question – how did such a physically strong man drown in such shallow water so close to the shore ?

out of all these royal personages , one has perhaps endured in the popular imagination more than others , at least if tourist visits and dedicated movies are taken as a guide . ( 1 ) this is ludwig otto friedrich wilhelm , ludwig ii of bavaria . but why has this failed , unhappy king endured as possibly the best - remembered european ruler of the 19 th century ?

although syberberg’s detached brechtian style would seem to remove the audience from having any emotional identification or sympathy for ludwig , this isn’t the case . the very sense of ludwig as a hapless victim of destiny is one factor that actually does draw our sympathy . but the style allows syberberg to draw us into the drama in other unusual ways . at one point , ludwig bequeaths all the future tourist income from his castles to bavaria . a short time later , in the tableau scene covering wagner’s death the back - projected image dissolves into film of modern day tourists being ushered through one of the castles , ogling at the architecture and artifacts of ludwig’s home . the sense of invasion of ludwig’s privacy is palpable .

ludwig’s dramatic death , drowning in a lake in very shallow water in front of the palace where he was being restrained , at night and in the rain , has been the final element keeping his story fascinating for many generations . was it an accident ? suicide ? political assassination ? visconti would seem to see it as ludwig’s final , dramatic gesture . talking to a servant after a short time before that night , ludwig has commented that drowning is a fine death . that night , shortly before going for his final walk in the rain , he comments to dr gudden ( who will drown with ludwig ) , “i am an enigma . and i want to remain an enigma , forever… for other people… and also for myself . ”

ludwig ii ascends to the throne at 18 years of age . the people sing his praises and idolize his beauty . but no one is able to follow his high - flown thoughts . he recognizes this and flees , disappointed into the solitude of his mountains… this causes discontent in the capital… the government chastises…and so ludwig ii , king of bavaria , begins his tremendous final battle . ( 3 )

when the officials feel they are now in a position to dethrone ludwig , they toast this with champagne glasses . a cut links their champagne with the beer steins of the “ordinary people” in the tavern . ominously , they are now saying , “he was an artist’s king , but through his ideals he lost sight of the people . “ but again sympathy is expressed for ludwig , “if they wanted to declare all kings insane on those grounds , soon there wouldn’t be any left . ”

mr . syberberg ' s thoughts about ludwig often sound like his thoughts about hitler . ' ' did he really exist or did we create him in our fantasy ? ' ' someone asks . says someone else , ' ' he is our own fairy tale . ' ' when ludwig ' s ministers conspire to murder him , they call him ' ' the kitch king ' ' and plot to make him a public joke .

in fact , the first half of the film focuses on richard wagner , and his relationship with ludwig . the film opens on wagner , reading of the death of maximilian ii . as wagner reads the reports about the new king , he bemoans , “there will never be a ruler idealistic enough to bring my works to the stage . ” so , the opening of the film is structured to highlight this aspect of ludwig’s reign .

ludwig is also shown as aware of the science of the day , with one scene in a room ludwig has set up so the passage of the planets and the earth and moon can be demonstrated with models and light . ( compare this interest to the observatory scene in the leopard , where we see the prince and his telescopes – perhaps showing the prince as one who wants to see for himself , where ludwig is content with the comfort and security ( and aesthetics ) of a model . )

wagner’s lament is followed by a dance from hitler . there is the sense that wagner , like ludwig , is aware of a past and a future ethos in which his work and life exist .

on december 5 at 7 : 00pm . directed by french - egyptian filmmaker namir abdel messeeh , the film , set in cairo , investigates the phenomenon of miraculous virgin mary apparitions in egypt ' s coptic christian community .

after having been given such a significant role in the narrative structure at the start , wagner disappears almost perfunctorily about thirty minutes into the film , abetted by the sleight of hand of a title , “years have past” . ( sic ) after some scenes of ludwig enjoying wagner’s culture ( and wagner more than enjoying the king’s patronage ) , wagner simply tells ludwig that he must take a journey . “i am accused of being a bad influence on the king . ” next , a committee of munich citizens rejects plans for a festival theatre ( surely a reference to wagner’s dream that did result in the bayreuth opera house as the home for his ring cycle of operas . ) ludwig is hurt by this , “i wanted to make all of you rich , proud and happy . from now on i will erect monuments to my happiness in the wilderness . ” and so the building of linderhof palace and the neuschwanstein castle is explained to us .

overall , the interest of the silence at the starnberg lake is directly in how much it is a document of its time . cinematically , it is almost primitive . many interiors are clearly filmed outdoors because of slow film stock , the acting is theatrical and frequently over demonstrative ( at least to our eyes ) , and the camera work is frequently static . in some cases , postcards are used instead of filming the real rooms inside the picture post - card palaces ludwig built . it also is basically sympathetic to ludwig . for all his weaknesses , it would seem ludwig was still a popular monarch . it was a time when royalty engendered the unquestioning love of a nation simply because it was royalty , and ludwig , handsome and personable when he became king , certainly enjoyed the love of many of his people . just two generations on , it was not yet time for a critical or psychological examination of the king . for another thing , the 738 - year reign of the house of wittelsbach in bavaria had only ended two years earlier in the wash - up to the first world war .

this structuring device of the inquiry into ludwig’s fitness operates in several interesting ways . it establishes the “present time” of the film as being at the close of ludwig’s reign in 1886 , and invites us to view all the scenes we see as flashbacks , and to regard those scenes as evidence proffered up to us to judge ludwig as a ruler . throughout the film , different witnesses at the enquiry address us directly , a single talking head . these different witnesses effectively introduce key moments from the life , until at the end events overtake the enquiry , and the film follows events subsequent to the decision to remove ludwig from the throne .

although some images and titles seem to present wagner as almost predatory – a very credible interpretation of his relationship with ludwig – the film is basically sympathetic to wagner . the scandal about wagner’s affair with cosima von bulow , the wife of his conductor and the daughter of franz liszt is completely ignored . and when ludwig is heartbroken at the collapse of his own relationship with sophie it is wagner who consoles him . “let the magic of art transport you to valhalla , ” wagner advises him . it appears ludwig takes this advice instantly to heart , because the next title informs us , “ludwig’s empire of beauty begins . ”

if that opening title was meant as an argument for a new film about ludwig only ten years after the silence at starnberg lake¸ so many aspects of the film itself make an even stronger argument . dramatically , it is much better structured , with most of the film covering only the last few years of ludwig’s life , when his passion for solitude was now eccentric , and disquiet was certainly rife amongst his ministers .

alfred the great ( 849 – 26 october 899 ) was king of wessex from 871 to 899 . alfred successfully defended his kingdom against the viking attempt at conquest and , by the time of his death , had become the dominant ruler in england . he is the only english monarch to be accorded the epithet " the great " . alfred was the first king of the west saxons to style himself " king of the anglo - saxons " . close

when raffé made his film in 1920 , the event was still within living memory for some bavarians . many more would have heard the stories of the mysterious death of the handsome king from their parents and grandparents . raffé reflects the legendary status of this event in his title , but it is ultimately only a small part of his film , and he does not really investigate the event , or argue for a particular view on ludwig’s death .

“they say he’s losing his mind” , one says . the camera follows another beer stein to the police station , where officers are discussing rumours of a plot against ludwig . a document case passes from a lowly official , higher and higher up the chain of command . it is carried in turn by a number of attendants and flunkeys and contains material that could be used against the king . we see it in a cabinet meeting , where a senior minister states that whatever action is taken , “the welfare of the people takes precedence . ” one of the officials declares the king’s building plans “are our hope” . this is the cue for the final part of this very smooth transition sequence and takes us to our first glimpse of ludwig , supervising the work on one of his castles .

the structuring of the film brings in the political element . after the opening confessional scene with ludwig at the beginning of his reign , we cut to a talking head , addressing us directly . he is initiating an enquiry into whether the king is still fit to rule “our ill - fated , despised , ridiculed and tormented bavaria . ” he has , he informs us , been a minister since that inauguration back in 1864 , which is a cue for a cut to that inauguration . the pomp of that ceremony is undercut by ludwig and his younger brother otto , playing a joke by switching roles as the dignitaries are introduced at court .

visconti’s ludwig can be seen as the final film in an informal trilogy exploring key moments of the 19 th century . senso ( 1954 ) is a love story set in 1866 , the final days of austria’s occupation of venice . il gattapardo ( the leopard , 1963 ) is set against events of great social and political upheaval at the start of the same decade in sicily . and ludwig , though it covers a greater period of time , starts midway between the two films , with ludwig’s ascension to the throne of bavaria in 1864 .

the simplicity of this explanation for ludwig’s retreat to his solitary castle building , or command performances of operas for him alone is very much the tone of this film . his relationship with his one - time betrothed , the duchess sophie , is seen as collapsing because she dared to go paddling bare foot in a small stream and because she perhaps flirted a bit with her portrait painter . there is absolutely no suggestion of ludwig’s own sexuality , or his inability to advance the relationship .

clovis ( latin chlodovechus ; c . 466 – c . 511 ) was the first king of the franks to unite all of the frankish tribes under one ruler , changing the form of leadership from a group of royal chieftains to rule by a single king and ensuring that the kingship was passed down to his heirs . he is considered the founder of the merovingian dynasty , which ruled the franks for the next two centuries . close

in this short , concise opening , we have covered so many of the “facts” of the king’s early reign , facts that can be in danger of bogging down a film’s narrative . several important aspects of the film’s approach have also been sketched in , especially the role of “the people” . there is a sense of a nation , a polity with a king , officials and “the people” . at particular moments in this drama of the last days , we return to the people . as well , this sense of nation is an important element of the drama . in those pre - mass media days , ludwig was a popular monarch , and that popularity was a safeguard against some of the political manoeuvring against him . ludwig himself believed his relationship with his people – even if he hated venturing among them – would protect him .

if raffé , in his 1920 film , emphasises the significance of wagner by privileging him with the opening scene , visconti perhaps betrays his italian / catholic background with his opening sequence , a conversation between ludwig and his priest . the priest advises ludwig , “…don’t be too proud , but fear the duty you have been called to fulfil . because from this moment on , the path to salvation will become more arduous for you . ”

andrew lloyd webber , baron lloyd - webber ( born 22 march 1948 ) is a british composer and impresario of musical theatre . several of his musicals have run for more than a decade both in the west end and on broadway . he has composed 13 musicals , a song cycle , a set of variations , two film scores , and a latin requiem mass . he has also gained a number of honours , including a knighthood in 1992 , [ 4 ] followed by a peerage from queen elizabeth ii for services to music . close

ludwig’s reply gives a premonition that already he sees his reign as a time for great art . “you know how i’ve been waiting in anguish for this day…lately i’ve been feeling more serene because i’ve understood how i should use my power…i will be able to gather around me truly wise men , men of great talent , great artists . and to all of them i will humbly ask for help . the monuments of my kingdom will be built for them . ”

philip ii of spain ( spanish : felipe ii ; 21 may 1527 – 13 september 1598 ) was king of spain ( as philip ii in castille and philip i in aragon ) and portugal as philip i ( portuguese : filipe i ) . during his marriage to queen mary i , he was king of england and ireland and pretender to the kingdom of france .

there is also , as the opening title promises , a deeper understanding of his personality , even if some aspects cannot be explored in depth . there is a telling scene , hinting at his homosexuality . the king receives a consignment of classical statues , greek studies of male nudes . one is of an athlete standing , another depicts two naked wrestlers . as ludwig admires them , a cut suggests he is also thinking how his manservant would look in the same stance as one of the athletes . it is a well - handled , discreet scene , but when ludwig smashes one of the statues , we can certainly read that as suggesting he feels tormented by his sexuality .

ludwig’s fascination with richard wagner is always seen as an integral part of his story . visconti clearly loved telling this part of the story , even indulging himself with a recreation of wagner’s christmas present to cosima of his siegfried idyll , m arking the birth of their son , siegfried . this event is really more part of a wagner narrative than the ludwig narrative , but visconti recreates the legendary first performance , with musicians playing the beautiful piece of music on the staircase of the wagner home , waking cosima on christmas morning . the sheer beauty of the music and visconti’s sensitive filming of the episode becomes the justification of its inclusion in ludwig’s story .

ludwig’s fascination with architecture , or more particularly , palaces is well known . compared to the earlier films , visconti has access to the original buildings , and colour film . the interiors are always ravishing , with the ‘scope frame revelling in the details of nineteenth century interior decoration . within the terms of ludwig’s era , his own innate sense of taste is captured by visconti , in a way that is beautifully contrasted when several scenes take place in wagner’s residence . at first glance , his sitting room seems to reflect the same taste for ornate furniture , knickknacks and ornaments everywhere , fussy wallpaper , luxuriant indoor plants . but then you sense a falseness , a coarseness in the wagner interiors as opposed to the quiet taste of ludwig’s rooms .

with a running time of just under two and one half hours , ' ' ludwig ' ' is virtually a short subject , and because ludwig is not someone about whom i have strong feelings ( somewhere deep inside me i suspect he ' s the creation of mel brooks ) , i didn ' t respond to this film with the same kind of impatience i felt about ' ' our hitler . ' ' because ' ' ludwig ' ' is a less engaging ( and less enraging ) movie than ' ' our hitler , ' ' one is able to attend to the director ' s methods , which have a theoretical interest that is not always realized in what we see on the screen .

these words could be the key to this trilogy . although syberberg is ostensibly making films about three famous germans , the films in no way resemble the routine “biopic . ” rather , they are more like an examination of the german soul , a soul that encompasses great music and genocide , goethe and goebbels . a film about the soul , or perhaps the ‘ethos’ of a nation , is a rare thing indeed , and syberberg’s film about ludwig is unlike any of the other films about the king .

i ' m not exactly sure how mr . syberberg connects ludwig to hitler , beyond the conceit that both became mythical figures in response to a public demand and the fact that it was ludwig who eventually gave in to bismarck and signed bavaria over to prussia , thus to create the modern germany . mr . syberberg ' s movie contains a number of references , musical as well as historical , that are beyond most of us not obsessed with the subject .

like ' ' our hitler , ' ' ' ' ludwig ' ' appears to have been shot on a single soundstage , with a minimum of props and a great deal of elaborately lit dry - ice fumes , all photographed against a backdrop on which a lot of stunning scenery and decor are projected to great effect at comparatively little expense .

architecture and music were the two fields where ludwig’s involvement had great impact , to the extent that he may be as important a 19 th century patron of the arts as , for example , were the medici in the 14 th century . he indulged his obsession with grandeur and seclusion by commissioning ( with state money , of course ) a number of magnificent palaces , including schloss neuschwanstein , the prototype fairy tale castle , and surely the inspiration for the walt disney company’s logo . and in music , his name goes hand in glove with that of the composer richard wagner . he absorbed wagner’s sometimes extravagant dreams , and lost himself in the operas celebrating old teutonic heroes . at a time when many solid german citizens disliked the composer’s daring music , resented his indulgence in luxury at other people’s expense , and abominated his domestic and conjugal arrangements , ludwig stood by him . in this , ludwig was clearly of great importance in supporting the artist responsible for the great cultural peak of the ring cycle of operas , still the benchmark for many opera companies .

the subject of all this is a solemnly mad , prettily handsome young man ( played by harry baer , seen here in a number of rainer werner fassbinder films ) , a fellow who weeps a lot , behaves rudely to his courtiers and often poses as if playing a game of living statues . in one of the most effective sequences , ludwig , having just learned of wagner ' s death , lies grief - stricken in a royal chamber while , on the screen behind him , we see masses of contemporary tourists , their instamatics at the ready , being herded through the halls of one of ludwig ' s castles .

in the first part of syberberg’s german trilogy , harry baer portrays the so - called “mad king , ” who was the patron of richard wagner , the man who sold bavaria to prussia , and the builder of many a mythic castle in the rhineland .

that paragraph effectively serves to introduce discussion of a second film about ludwig , because it is actually from the opening titles to the film itself . ludwig der zweite ( ludwig ii ) had the sub - title one man’s fate ( das schecksal eines menschen ) , and was made in 1930 , directed by wilhelm dieterle who also took the lead role . that same year , dieterle became one of the many creative artists who migrated to america . there , as william dieterle , he began a successful career as a director . his filmography included three more film biographies , the story of louis pasteur ( 1936 ) , the life of emile zola ( 1937 ) , and juarez ( 1939 ) , as well as a famous version of a midsummer night’s dream ( 1935 ) from a famous theatrical production by another émigré , max reinhardt . ludwig ii was produced by joe pasternak . pasternak , hungarian by birth , had been a busboy at paramount in the 1920s before being sent to its production operations in berlin by universal . with the rise of nazism he returned to hollywood and a subsequent successful career as a producer including films with deanna durbin , mario lanza and elvis presley .

rolf raffé directed his film das schweigen am starnbergersee ( the silence at the starnberg lake ) in 1920 . early in june , 1886 , ludwig’s ministers had him declared insane , and his uncle luitpold took over as regent . after one bungled attempt at restraining him , ludwig was removed to castle berg , on the shores of lake starnberg . shortly after his arrival , he went for a night walk . he never returned alive , his body , as well as that of his doctor , being found in the lake . the official coronial verdict was suicide by drowning . certainly ludwig had spoken of suicide , but the manner of his death did not prevent theories of murder , assassination , foul play . the water was shallow . why was his doctor also dead ? were there bullets in the bodies ?

the rhine maidens leave their places to share in a bump - and - grind dance to an upbeat cabaret song , while the dwarf wagner also joins in . at the same time , the hypnotic slow siegried’s rhine journey continues as part of the sound mix . the rhine maidens continue their prophecy for ludwig . “i proclaim his eternal life in the memory of his people… . the finish . environmental pollution . pressure to produce ! crimes against nature . ” and a small boy as ludwig , with full beard , crown and court dress walks towards us pulling a stuffed swan on a rope behind him . he wipes a tear from his eyes with one of his white - gloved hands .

during his life , ludwig became more and more of a recluse , retreating more and more into his own solitude , even when political events demanded his very public presence in munich , his capital . like howard hughes , the most famous recluse of the next century , legends grew up around him . the legends , the whispers , the history have inspired film makers over much of the twentieth century , their “printing of the legend” often revealing as much about their own interests and times as of ludwig and his century .

' ' ludwig ' ' is a most rigorous kind of film making . the end effect is that of a feature - length montage so dense with associations and references that it is impossible to get them all at one viewing , though not compelling enough to make one want to sit through it all again .
