Bio of bad boy Italian Baroque artist Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, his paintings and his lover.
Certainly not for every taste, but this sumptuous recreation of a life on a zero budget with odd visuals makes for gorgeous cinema. Possibly Derek Jarman's most accessible film though. Recommended to the art movie crowd. You know who you are.
