After the mob boss Sebastian Bianchi is brutally murdered, his old time protégé, Marc, gets involved with his grief-struck daughter, Julia. Marc has been faithful to his wife who is disabled and suffers from psychological problems after “an accident” ten years ago, but now guilty feelings consume him. Until the night when Julia asks him to help her avenge her father.
This movie bears little relation with Thomas Mann's famous novella of the same name - except for the title, and perhaps its ultimate subject matter: irresistible forces inside us that bring us to our demise.

The bar has now hit a new height!
The story, the acting, the sets, well everything was just perfect, I was totally gripped all the way through!
Amazing, just perfectly, simply amazing!
everything about this is outstanding!
The ability to showcase brutality in it's purest form is delivered in every scenario in this film. From the mental footprint of these characters and their downfall to their physical state. You managed to project a pure sense of longing, regret and passion. The characters bring a cunning tale together well with some top draw performances by all the cast. Special nods to Sonya and AND for their portrayal of Marc and Julia.
The cinematography of this film was just simply majestic. From the exquisite to the elegance. From the warm sunshine mood to the bitter cold night of venice. Shadows come alive, backgrounds are amplified, the mood is securely set and it was an absolute joy to watch even from a visual stance.
I love all the subtleties of camera pans, angles and the meshing of sequences. It was fluid, coherant and most of all, realistic. From the anxious twitching of Julia to the facial expressions of of Melanie and Sebastian, you managed to display emotions in a natural way.
Sound design was both subtle and powerful with special nods to your use of sterio/surround. Such moments like the car drive by to the multiplex of sounds in Marc's head to the general ambience of scenes, you had it all.
Editting was top draw with many moments that heightened tension and suspense. The maze, flash-backs, night of passon and end sequence were highlights for me.
I wish this review was better constructed but the sheer amount of things that made this movie so enjoyable for me permit me from arranging it in a better way.
Suffice to say, Death in Venice is the perfect example of what can be done in MS with time and dedication in the hands of wonderful talent.
Until the next time...
Nuke Well in Venice
From the title animations of the beginning to the flashbacks, the wonderful way you brought Venice to life - you truly have mastered Moviestorm! The music, the voices - all brilliant, the editing, the way you built the atmosphere, the subtle sound...
Above all shines the story - a dark story, a story about love, loss, and revenge and regret.
Beautiful, heart-wrenching, inspiring.
Thank you for this movie, Black Cats!
Machinima at its very best, truly.
Darkly beautiful story told with such attention to detail it's breathtaking.
A cinematic, dare I say operatic, story that defies my ability to express just how much I loved it.
Direction, editing, performances, sound, music and mood were pretty much flawless in my eyes.
I'm glad I downloaded from Vimeo – this one's a keeper.
A_N_D and Sonya were stellar in the lead roles and I believe it to be Sonya's best performance to date. The music selections were great and Sherwin's music compositions shined.
