If you loved Die Verdammten, try Ludwig II.
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Luchino Visconti, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to Die Verdammten, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Ludwig II. is
Caligula without the togas. Ascending to the throne of Bavaria at 18, young Ludwig pursues Wagnerian fantasy and royal absolutism to operatic extremes. The film is a hothouse of aristocratic decadence, a feast of Visconti's obsessions, and Helmut Berger's haunted beauty.
