Description
Caravaggio is probably the closest Derek Jarman ever came to making a
mainstream film. As it reveals the seventeenth-century painter’s complex
life—his brilliant, nearly blasphemous paintings and flirtations with the
underworld—it is also a uniquely complex and lucid treatment of Jarman’s
major concerns: violence, history, homosexuality, and the relationship
between film and painting. Caravaggio incorporates the painter’s precise
aesthetic into the movie’s own visuals and uses the style and mood of his
paintings to reflect his life. The result is Jarman’s most profound,
unsettling and astonishing reflection on art, sexuality and identity.
