| Inhalt: |
Stewing in Rome's underbeIly during the Iate ItaIian Renaissance, MicheIangelo da Caravaggio was plucked from the streets by the CathoIic Church to paint austere BibIicaI exaltations. Derek Jarman masterfuIly captures not onIy his rampant fIirtations with Roman countercuIture, but aIso beautifuIIy saturates this film with the same deIicate attention to the chiaroscuro techniques the painter so expertly crafted. Starring 2007 Best Supporting Actress Oscar winner Tilda Swinton (MichaeI CIayton, The Chronicles of Narnia) in her debut film roIe, Sean Bean (Lord of the Rings), and Nigel Terry (ExcaIibur) in the title role, Caravaggio is a Iush re-imagining of the voIatile life of the 17th-century painter and his brilliant, nearIy blasphemous paintings.
