Michael

Running 1h 35m and made in Germany, Michael (1924) is a Drama and Romance film in the 123movies catalog. The cast includes Walter Slezak and Benjamin Christensen; Carl Theodor Dreyer directs. 55 votes put it at 6.4/10. A mature and visually elegant period romance that remains one of the earliest and most compassionate overtly gay-themed films in movie history. Based upon Herman Bang's 1902 novel, Dreyer's Michael refashions the classical Greek myth of Jupiter and Ganymede into a love triangle between an aging artist, Zoret, his protagonist Michael, and Princess Zamikoff, an aristocratic femme fatale as entranced by Michael’s youthful beauty as Zoret is.
