Eitan D Another amazing film by Konchalovsky. The cinematography is superb, i think almost all of the movie scenes are just visually beautiful. Next the main character is playing Michelangelo in such a way that it'd take a master to do so. Lastly is the story line- in this this movie reminds me of Amadeus- a semi historical movie about a genius and what might had happened there, as there same is here- the hero isn't stable psychologically and there's a contemporary villain. Though the stories are somewhat similar i don't take it as a negative point, just few things that are similar in 2 amazing films Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/28/21 Full Review Audience Member See it for the photography, see it for the history, see it for the irony, see it for the beauty, just see the damn movie. Within 15 minutes you are both startled by the reality of the historical portrayal and amused by the hilarity of circumstances as they existed. Many people make movies about history, few attempt and require so little romanticism, because it was Michelangelo, the work speaks for itself. So we are left to take in the reality in which the art was produced and and whos behest. The who being the Church and the families who controlled it. Humanity, the Holy, and everything in-between can be seen in contrast to some of the most beautiful creations of a single man. A man, anxious, filled with doubt and the debt of a life of overpromising and overdelivering. A beautiful portrayal of a beautiful man. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review alex h This movie is a hidden gem of Russian cinematography. I suddenly encountered it today because of a recommendation from a friend and I am not disappointed at all. I love the aspect ratio of this movie, I love it's plot and I love the setting. The setting is amazing and absolutely fulfills the Renaissance era of Italy. I am very amazed by actors, especially the one that plays Michelangelo because of how well he deals with his role. The plot is interesting because, let's be honest, there is not many films that are based on that era. The life of Michelangelo is not something everybody would be interested in, which is why I think it's not popular. I am very proud of Russian film industry, because something like this movie exists, if someone showed me a frame from this film I would have never said that Russian people took part in it. It is unique because of it not being a domestic drama or a war movie, as that's what Russian film industry is famous for. I love history and I think that this movie is historically accurate, has a lot of intense moments, as well as amazing allegories, especially on religion, which are very thought provoking. This is not a movie everybody would understand, but many would find it's setting pleasing. The Russian dubbing is amazing, so I would recommend watching this movie in Russian with subtitles. A great 8/10, if you love historical biographical movies with some taste of thought provoking drama — go for it, but I don't guarantee that you will understand it.
