Caravaggio

About the movie

Michelangelo Merisi de Caravaggio gained the support of Cardinal Del Monte early in his career, proceeding to develop a new style of painting to portray his surrounding world in a more realistic way. Meanwhile his art sprouts, he gets involved in a love affair with his model Ranuccio, and another with Ranuccio’s girlfriend. A love triangle that inevitably leads to deceit and further on even murder…
Caravaggio is Derek Jarman’s reimagined semi-fictionalized biopic of the Italian painter, famous from his brilliant but nearly blasphemous paintings. Upon its world premiere at Berlin International Film Festival, it received both the C.I.D.A.L.C. Award and the Silver Bear for its beautiful visual style.
