A new documentary film "The Most Beautiful Boy in the World", is about Björn Andrésen and the effects of international fame thrust upon him when he appeared in Luchino Visconti's 1971 film, Death in Venice.
Andrésen was just 16 when the film came out
"The Beautiful Boy" is a book written by Germaine Greer,
Greer used Andrésen's image on the cover, without permission
She described the book as "full of pictures of 'ravishing' pre-adult boys with hairless chests, wide-apart legs and slim waists".
Greer claimed the purpose of her book was "to advance women's reclamation of their capacity for and right to visual pleasure", containing over 200 images of young boys.
Germaine Greer is regarded as one of the major voices of the radical feminist movement in the latter half of the 20th century. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germaine_…
