Excellent- More about Caravaggio
Caravaggio (1986) is a complex and lucid treatment of Derek Jarman's major concerns, avoiding sentimentalising of gay relationships and making no neat distinction between the exercise and suffering of violence. It is his most profound, unsettling, and astonishing reflection on sexuality and identity.

Caravaggio (1986)
Caravaggio (1986), directed by Derek Jarman, is a portrait of the Italian Baroque artist that explores his relationship with two lovers, Ranuccio and Lena, and his use of models drawn from Rome's homeless and prostitutes. The film is a complex and lucid treatment of Jarman's major concerns, including violence, history, homosexuality, and the relation between film and painting. It is one of Jarman's most mainstream films, but it is also a uniquely complex and lucid treatment of his major concerns.
The Film's Complexity
The film's complexity lies in its treatment of violence, history, homosexuality, and the relation between film and painting. Jarman avoids a sentimentalising of gay relationships and makes no neat distinction between the exercise and the suffering of violence. This approach is unique to Caravaggio and sets it apart from Jarman's other work.
The Film's Unsettling Reflection on Sexuality and Identity
The film's unsettling reflection on sexuality and identity is one of its most profound aspects. Jarman renounces the coercive power of film-making and the result is a reflection on sexuality and identity that is unsettling and astonishing. Bersani and Dutoit argue that Jarman may have found this power deeply seductive, but in Caravaggio, he renounces it and the result is a profound reflection on sexuality and identity.
Conclusion
Caravaggio (1986) is a unique and complex portrait of the Italian Baroque artist that explores his relationship with two lovers, Ranuccio and Lena, and his use of models drawn from Rome's homeless and prostitutes. The film's complexity lies in its treatment of violence, history, homosexuality, and the relation between film and painting, and its unsettling reflection on sexuality and identity is one of its most profound aspects. Jarman renounces the coercive power of film-making and the result is a reflection on sexuality and identity that is unsettling and astonishing.
