Private Vices, Public Virtues
Crown Prince Rudolf, Emperor Franz Josef of Austria's son, is believed to have shot at himself and his female fan in a suicide pact in 1882 in Mayerling. Because of Imperial coverups, the complete story might never be understood. This narrative has been filmed several days, in French 1935 and in English in 1968. Hungarian director Miklos Jancso recreates those events due to his own purposes, continuing his favorite subject of paternal authority's rejection. In the film, which has very little dialog, Rudolf can be actually a goodnatured pan-sexual GoldenBoy, that cavorts with a multitude of aristocratic fans and friends of both sexes. He will not leave his country idyll although he's been arranged into by the Emperor, his dad. Despite the fact for a large region of the film, attractive individuals begin unclothed and engaging in encounters, the mood is one of depression in the place of prurience.
