Description
Derek Jarman’s classic biopic of the great Renaissance painter starring Academy-Award Winner,
Tilda Swinton. Told in flashback as Michelangelo Caravaggio (1571-1610) lies dying in poverty, the film brilliantly recreates the look and colour of the artist’s original paintings while exploring the homoerotic subtext of his work – and speculating on a vicious love triangle involving the artist, a model (
Sean Bean) and his wife (
Tilda Swinton). Arguably the most accessible of Jarman’s films, it remains a testament to his distinctive visual style.
