OVERVIEW: The spectacular sculptures and paintings of Michelangelo
seem so familiar to us, but what do we really know about this Renaissance
giant? Michelangelo’s genius is evident in everything he touched. Beautiful and
diverse works such as the towering statue of David, the moving Pietà in the
Papal Basilica of St. Peter and his tour-de-force, the Sistine Chapel ceiling,
still leave us breathless today.
Spanning his 88 years, Michelangelo: Love and Death takes
a cinematic journey through the print and drawing rooms of Europe through the
great chapels and museums of Florence, Rome and the Vatican to seek out a
deeper understanding of this legendary figure’s tempestuous life, his
relationship with his contemporaries and his incredible legacy.
Through expert commentary, stunning visuals and
Michelangelo’s own words, this film takes a fresh look at a master artist whose
life and genius are celebrated in every mark he made. Returning to cinemas in
2025 to celebrate the 550th anniversary of this iconic artist’s birth.
