I just cant understand why the heck there are cars, typewriters, clothes form the XVIII/XIX century, etc. :/ Someone knows what those thing are there?
arte plasmado en la forma de ser de las personas lo viven lo respiran lo acojen como el estilo de vida barroco es la forma mas realista de ver la cruda vida de principio a fin sin ninguna cosa q lo esconda
i don't think he was actually a cruel man. more a lost one with aggressions because at least he just couldnt cope with life. but - we will never know how he was or what he was feeling and how it comes he killed ranuccio. in the end it doesnt count because we have his paintings.
Derek Jarman based this fillm not so much on Caravaggios life, but on is Art i.e his paintings.
I think the film works so well. particularly where he mixes 17th century images with contemporary images. In the same way as Caravaggio dressed many of his Biblical subjects in the clothes of his time.
idk I felt like there was a lot missing from this film about his life. He is known for his wild character but I really do not see that portrayed in here. And lastly, he had to leave Rome and no one knows where his body died because he might have died on a beach. Clearly not in a bed.
I didn't like this movie, but I'm rather glad that I've watched it, because it's so weird so it becomes interesting. And I like Nigel Terry, I wanted to see him in another movie than "Excalibur". But I think he's too "pure" to play a violent man like Caravaggio was.
Caravaggio's final years after he left Rome to Sicily and Malta are particularily an unsolved mistery nowadays, it seems he was killed or just died close to the sea in confusing circumstances, he simply "dissapeared" and his body was never found... It is only during the last decades that his magnificent art of painting has been known better + valued as it never was since 1600, through a film like this where I find ideas of darky incoherence as positive attributes in rapport of enigmatic M life
Having worked with and appeared in several of Dereks films...I am one of the Cardinals Assistants...this version was toned down substantially in terms of the sexuality of Carravagio....Sean Bean & Tilda Swintons acting is terrible (as in most of their film performances!) but this was the start of Dexter and Dereks love affair....We, the extras who Derek knew and recruited from the 70/80s London Gay Scene adored him....

great movie ! thanx for uploadding it, I wanted to watch it a long time ago but hesitated to buy it. The actors are brilliant and it all is very original and inventive. I'd like to read more about Caravaggio's life now. thanx again
1. Research has shown he actually did die in a hospital bed.
2. Jarman never claimed the film was historically accurate.
3. Thanks for uploading.
4. What is the piece of music called?

Is this one of the best films ever made, or just one of the best films ever made?

I liked the "Tableaux vivants" very mutch
The film gives a somewhat incoherent
impression but perhaps (like most
geat artists)thats exactly how they went through life
