Caravaggio Film 'L'anima e il sangue' Hits Italian Theaters

The documentary film 'Caravaggio – L'anima e il sangue,' directed by Jesus Garces Lambert, is set for theatrical release in Italy through Nexo Digital, co-produced by Sky and Magnitudo Film. The film traces Caravaggio's life across Milan, Florence, Rome, Naples, Sicily, and Malta, featuring 40 works from 15 museums. Narrated by Italian rock star Manuel Agnelli, it includes scientific commentary from art historians Claudio Strinati, Mina Gregori, and Rossella Vodret. Strinati compares Caravaggio to Andy Warhol and 1600s Rome to 1960s-70s New York. The film uses 8K technology to highlight chiaroscuro details, aiming to immerse viewers in the paintings. It also features evocative scenes with non-professional actors, including a young man from Scampia.
