Great Italian director LUCHINO VISCONTI who was openly gay gives a more accurate account of Ludwig II with a great cast that includes the splendid SILVANA MANGANO, Trevor Howard and Helmut Burger. You can't go wrong with a Visconti film. Though from 1972, it is very watchable, Visconti making sure that facts are right. You will be impressed with both the screenplay written by long time Visconti collaborators and the cinematography of Bavarian Germany is quite awesome.
