Quiz
Riccardo Scamarcio said about Caravaggio's character: "I immediately thought that [Caravaggio] was like Elvis Presley. My reference was Elvis. A small-town boy with great energy, passion, talent and rigor towards art. At that time, painting was the mainstream, there was nothing else, there was no photography, there was no radio, television or cinema. Paintings were so powerful because they spoke directly to the unconscious. And this man was the first to represent sacred images in a completely different way."

A moving painting

The movie is the story of Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio who was an Italian painter in the 16th century, through the eyes of the Pope's investigator. He was known for painting "what he saw", some kind of reality that he wanted close to the divine, which was of course not ok with the Catholic Church. Within his paintings, you could see famous prostitutes, hoboes, represented as saints, such as Mary or St Peter. His life has multiple legends around it, he was known to have sexual relationships with both males and females, while painting for the Church, and his competitors tried to destroy him for that. He had to flee Rome after killing (accidentally?) someone and lived in Naples, Sicily, Malta, etc. The story of the movie is a bit long, but this is not why you should see this movie. The whole movie is staged as a painting, with that kind of atmosphere that you get from 16th century Italian paintings. Would I watch it again? No, but I am happy I watched it.
