This documentary spotlights Michelangelo Buonarroti, one of the most acclaimed icons in art history. Through his creation of countless enduring works, Michelangelo garnered the attention of his contemporaries in Italy and art-lovers all across Europe. But his genius did not come without struggle. Michelangelo, after facing a series of personal and professional challenges, became embroiled in a controversy that led to the symbolic destruction of one his most beloved creations -- the David.

Michelangelo's masterworks and the historical impact of the Italian Renaissance are excitingly examined in this outstanding documentary. It's one "art" movie that can be enjoyed and understood even by people who habitually shun the galleries.

What can you really say? It's the story of the life of the greatest artist's of all time. It's done well, so I really have no qualms about it. Very important for any artist or historian to see.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
