Description

Step inside the mind, heart, and soul of a Renaissance titan in this one-of-a-kind cinematic portrait of Michelangelo. Mining his diaries and poems, as well as the work of his biographers, Oscar-winning director Robert Snyder offers viewers an intimate portrait of the artist’s life and artistic evolution, his spiritual crisis, and the saintly simplicity of his final years. Filmed with unprecedented access to the Sistine Chapel, the Last Judgment, and many other of his beautiful works, this doc is a riveting, in-depth look at a visionary who was far ahead of his time.

"Snyder's film shines a brilliant light on Michelangelo's work while keeping its master at an appropriately elusive distance." - Film Threat
