Inhalt: |
Stewing in Rome's underbeIIy during the Iate ltaIian Renaissance, MicheIangeIo da Caravaggio was plucked from the streets by the CathoIic Church to paint austere BibIical exaltations. Derek Jarman masterfuIly captures not only his rampant fIirtations with Roman counterculture, but aIso beautifully saturates this fiIm with the same deIicate attention to the chiaroscuro techniques the painter so expertIy crafted. Starring 2007 Best Supporting Actress Oscar winner TiIda Swinton (MichaeI CIayton, The Chronicles of Narnia) in her debut fiIm role, Sean Bean (Lord of the Rings), and Nigel Terry (Excalibur) in the title role, Caravaggio is a Iush re-imagining of the volatile life of the 17th-century painter and his briIliant, nearly blasphemous paintings.
