Dexter Fletcher, Garry Cooper, Nigel Terry, Sean Bean, Spencer Leigh, Tilda SwintonSummary: Derek Jarman struggled for seven years to bring his portrait of the 17th century Italian artist Michelangelo da Caravaggio to the screen. The result was well worth the wait. It’s a freely dramatised portrait which conjures several of the controversial artist’s most famous paintings through elaborate and beautifully photographed tableaux vivants, and boasts wonderful performances from Nigel Terry, Sean Bean, and, in her first role, Tilda Swinton. Winner of a Silver Berlin Bear award at the **Berlin International Film Festival**. Official Selection at the **Toronto International Film Festival**. *"...visually beautiful, sly and idiosyncratic biographical portrait of the great 17th-century Italian artist is an enduring delight" - Glenn Kenny, **The New York Times***
