CARAVAGGIO'S SHADOW
1ST POSTER & RELEASE DATE
 |
| The movie is out this November in Italy |
THIS HISTORICAL DRAMA
depicts the struggles of the
notorious Renaissance painter as he's investigated by the Vatican.
Italy 1610. Michelangelo Merisi (Scarmarcio), better known as
Caravaggio, ignores Catholic Church rulings that dictate how religious
subjects are to be represented. Having been informed that he depicts
prostitutes, thieves and vagabonds in his work, Pope Paul V orders the
Vatican secret 
service to investigate, to decide whether to grant the
clemency for which Caravaggio has petitioned since being sentenced to
death for the murder of a
rival in love.
The investigator (Garrel) – known as The Shadow - begins the inquiry
that will lead him to discover the conflicting vices and virtues of the
artist whose life – or death – lies in his hands.

ReplyDeleteThose living in Italy LOL
DeleteI much prefer artwork with prostitutes, thieves and vagabonds. Glad we aren't such a stuffy society anymore.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen any of his prostitutes.
DeleteEh, I'll pass on this one. It doesn't seem too awful but some subjects are just overdone.
ReplyDeleteBut it is Italian! Traitor!
