Michael is a 1924 German silent film, directed by Carl Theodor Dreyer. It is notable as one of the earliest films to depict a homosexual relationship.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The title character, an aspiring painter, has become the favorite model of a great artist named Claude Zoret, a.k.a. "the Master." For a few years, they share a, ahem, close relationship. But all that changes when Countess Lucia Zamikow asks for Zoret to paint her portrait. Before long, the bisexual Michael falls for the charms of the Countess, leaving Zoret alone and broken.The film was based on the 1902 novel Mikaël by Herman Bang. The story was previously adapted as a film under the title The Wings in 1916.

No Celebrities Were Harmed: Claude Zoret has often been interpreted as a fictionalized Auguste Rodin or perhaps Claude Monet.

Like a Son to Me: This is totally the nature of Zoret's relationship with Michael. After all, that's what they tell us.

Last-Name Basis: Michael is the titular character's last name. It's only at the very end of the film that it's revealed that his first name is Eugene.

Ambiguously Gay: This being a film of the 1920s, it's never spelled out that Zoret and Michael's relationship is homosexual in nature.

Magnum Opus: After being abandoned by Michael, Zoret creates his masterpiece. It's a painting of an old man who has lost everything. Subtle.
