Synopsis

One of Jarman's most accessible works, Caravaggio is a ravishingly shot depicition of the painter's life as he reminisces in jail cell. The look of Caravaggio's work is beautifully captured, whilst the acting and direction are nothing short of superb.

    Caravaggio

    30 November 2009
    A revealing insight into the life of 17th Century painter Caravaggio created by Derek Jarman. With a fantastic cast including starring performances by Sean Bean and Robbie Coltrane Caravaggio emphasises the contrast between his philosophical and religious painting and his brutish, violent private life. Though criticised for being an inaccurate portrayal by many in the art world this film is beautifully made and engaging throughout.

    Interesting for the Interested

    This strange and artistic portray of Caravaggio is not in any way mainstream. Jarman worked with a very low budget to try to bring the era to the film without having big locations and a huge amount of extras, hence this becomes a very personal film.
