Caravaggio
Wed 02 JulDerek Jarman’s biopic of the dark genius of the Italian Baroque was a passion project developed over many years. The film’s vibrant colours, detailed art design and chiaroscuro lighting conjure the world of Caravaggio’s paintings, as the artist struggles to reconcile the demands of authority with his own artistic and sexual desires.
