Overstimulated by flamboyant props and distracted by extravagant queens pacing up and down the rooms and corridors, one easily forgets the 18th-century country house serving as the backdrop in Tadzio.

She provided them with a generous budget and left them to do the rest. Three films emerged from her idea – Tadzio among them.
