Ultimately shot on 35mm film, it looks incredible: the tableaux and sets project rich, painterly depth, brightness and colour. Sean Bean and Tilda Swinton deliver fine performances as the model and partner caught up in a complex and fatally doomed love triangle with the famous artist. Caravaggio struggles to reconcile the demands of authority (in the form of his church patrons) with his own artistic and sexual needs a tension then very close to Jarman's heart.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAvailable here in High Definition for the first time outside of 2018's Jarman Vol.1 (1972-1986), Caravaggio is arguably the director's most popular film.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecial Features\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-vertical\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eCaravaggio in Docklands\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(1985, 15 mins): shot on VHS by director Ron Peck (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eNighthawks\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e), this footage was recorded at Limehouse Studios on the Isle of Dogs, East London where Derek was about to shoot \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eCaravaggio\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eKind Blasphemy: Nigel Terry on Derek Jarman and Caravaggio\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(2007, 7 mins): the actor and star of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eCaravaggio\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eshares his memories of meeting and working with Derek Jarman\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTilda Swinton on \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eCaravaggio\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and Derek Jarman (2007, 9 mins): interview with the Oscar-winning actress\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eItaly of the Memory: Christopher Hobbs on \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eCaravaggio\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (2007, 8 mins): archive interview with the film s production designer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDexter Fletcher on \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eCaravaggio\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (2014, 10 mins): the actor and director recalls his first meeting with Derek Jarman\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChristopher Hobbs Remembers \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eCaravaggio\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (2018, 6 mins): further reminiscences of the making of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eCaravaggio\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eDerek Jarman interviewed by Derek Malcolm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (1986, 58 mins, audio only)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eCaravaggio\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Score Recording Sessions (1986, 64 mins, audio only): extensive new selection of hauntingly beautiful audio outtakes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAudio commentary with Cinematographer Gabriel Beristan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAssorted Galleries: Derek Jarman's Notebook, Storyboards, Production Designs and original notes by Jarman\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOriginal theatrical trailer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BFI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46600835694766,"sku":"BFIB1321","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0583\/4614\/3918\/files\/Caravaggio-Lime-Light-Blu-Ray.jpg?v=1751295377","url":"https:\/\/limelightcollection.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/caravaggio-blu-ray","provider":"Limelight Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
