Michelangelo: the depths of Mannerism on the big screen

The director Andreï Konchalovsky shows the very trivial and practical daily life of the Florentine master, who made the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.


Michelangelo?

A perfectionist always dissatisfied.

An overworked enthusiast.

But also a proud horse dealer, his feet anchored in the dust of marble and pigments!

In Andreï Kontchalovsky's film, in theaters on October 21, played by an Alberto Testone with the required broken nose, emaciated body and dressed in rags, it looks like it came out of one of these masterpieces of Italian neorealism .

Unless it's a Pasolini.

In 1512, the master floundered in even dirtier alleys and clashes of clans.

Toy of the powerful who, in Rome "the depraved" as much as in Florence

"the whore"

, are slow to pay their crazy demands, under pressure from his workers, jealous of his peers, from Bramante to Raphael, he gets bogged down in large orders.
