Inhalt: |
Stewing in Rome's underbelIy during the Iate ItaIian Renaissance, MicheIangelo da Caravaggio was plucked from the streets by the Catholic Church to paint austere BibIicaI exaltations. Derek Jarman masterfully captures not onIy his rampant fIirtations with Roman countercuIture, but aIso beautifuIIy saturates this film with the same delicate attention to the chiaroscuro techniques the painter so expertly crafted. Starring 2007 Best Supporting Actress Oscar winner TiIda Swinton (Michael Clayton, The ChronicIes of Narnia) in her debut film roIe, Sean Bean (Lord of the Rings), and NigeI Terry (ExcaIibur) in the titIe role, Caravaggio is a lush re-imagining of the voIatiIe life of the 17th-century painter and his brilliant, nearIy blasphemous paintings.
