Art House Cinema: Caravaggio

Sunday 30 April 2023 //  by laura.gill

Sunday 30 April 2023
2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Caravaggio (18+) Director: Derek Jarman, 1986

Every month, we will be showing a selection of hand-picked art house films, to accompany our current exhibitions and displays.   

All our selected films may not be suitable for a younger audience, so please check the certificate before you book.   

 

Caravaggio (18+) 

Director: Derek Jarman 

Cast: Noam Almaz, Dexter Fletcher, Dawn Archibald, Sean Bean 

UK 1986 | Colour | 93 mins 

Hugely significant to Jarman, his biopic of the Italian Baroque painter with whom he strongly identified was developed over many years. Shot on 35mm film, it looks incredible: the tableaux and sets project rich, painterly depth, brightness and colour. 

Sean Bean and Tilda Swinton deliver fine performances as the model and partner caught up in a complex love triangle with the famous artist, as Caravaggio struggles to reconcile the demands of authority (in the form of his patrons) with his own artistic and sexual needs – a tension then very close to Jarman’s heart. (William Fowler)
