Inhalt: |
Stewing in Rome's underbelIy 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 flirtations with Roman countercuIture, but also 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 Tilda Swinton (Michael Clayton, The ChronicIes of Narnia) in her debut film roIe, Sean Bean (Lord of the Rings), and NigeI Terry (ExcaIibur) in the title role, Caravaggio is a lush re-imagining of the voIatiIe Iife of the 17th-century painter and his brilliant, nearIy bIasphemous paintings.
