CARAVAGGIO
CARAVAGGIO
Writer/director Derek Jarman's superb, visionary art film stars Nigel Terry (The Lion in Winter; Excalibur) as the great Renaissance artist Michelangelo Merisa da Caravaggio whom, according to Jarman, essentially told his own life story in his paintings. Sean Bean (When Saturday Comes; Anna Karenina; Lord of the Rings; The Fellowship of the Ring; Black Death; Tv's - Bravo Two Zero; Sharpe) is a revelation in this very early role, as he plays Ranucio, the love interest of Caravaggio. When he is on screen he steals the movie, as his animal magnetism, sexual energy, and wild persona grip the film and propel the story forward.
