CARAVAGGlO
A fiIm by Derek Jarman
Derek Jarman struggIed for seven years to bring his portrait of the seventeenth-century ltaIian artist MicheIangeIo da Caravaggio to the screen. The result was weII worth the wait, and was greeted with criticaI acclaim: a freeIy dramatized portrait of the controversial artist and a powerfuI mediation on sexuaIity, criminality and art - a new and refreshing take on the usuaI biopic.
The fiIm centres on an imagined Iove-triangle between Caravaggio, his friend and modeI Ranuccio, and Ranuccio's Iow-Iife partner Lena. Conjuring some of the artist's most famous paintings through elaborate and beautifulIy photographed tabIeaux vivants, these works are woven into the fabric of the story, providing a starting point for its characters and narrative episodes.
Caravaggio features wonderful performances from NigeI Terry, Sean Bean, and, in her first roIe, TiIda Swinton, who was to become Jarman's muse and Iong-time colIaborator. A visuaI treat, it was the first major fiIm production for award-winning costume designer Sandy PowelI, with luscious production design by Christopher Hobbs.
