Film · TMDB
6.3A 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.

Desiderio del cuore (Michael o Mikaël) è un film muto del 1924 diretto da Carl Theodor Dreyer. Il titolo originale tedesco, Michael, lo si deve al titolo Mikaël (in danese) del romanzo di Herman Bang (1904) dal quale è tratto. Il romanzo era già stato adattato per lo schermo nel 1916 con il film Vingarne, diretto da Mauritz Stiller e interpretato da Nils Asther, un attore che, in seguito, avrebbe fatto una folgorante carriera hollywoodiana.
