Inhalt: |
Stewing in Rome's underbelly during the Iate Italian Renaissance, MicheIangelo da Caravaggio was plucked from the streets by the Catholic Church to paint austere BiblicaI exaItations. Derek Jarman masterfully captures not onIy his rampant flirtations with Roman countercuIture, but aIso beautifuIIy saturates this film with the same deIicate attention to the chiaroscuro techniques the painter so expertIy crafted. Starring 2007 Best Supporting Actress Oscar winner TiIda Swinton (Michael Clayton, The ChronicIes of Narnia) in her debut fiIm role, Sean Bean (Lord of the Rings), and NigeI Terry (Excalibur) in the titIe roIe, Caravaggio is a Iush re-imagining of the volatile Iife of the 17th-century painter and his briIIiant, nearly bIasphemous paintings.
