Lucky Red releases MICHELANGELO – ENDLESS, the new art film produced by Sky with Magnitudo Film.
A emotionally compelling and visually strong portrait of Michelangelo, the man and the artist, the undisputed genius of universal art, and also a complete exposition of his vast artistic production, including sculpture, painting and drawings. The spectator will be marvelled by the spectacular ultra-definition images (4K HDR) shot from new and exclusive points of view, to which are added surprising historical reconstructions through evolved and sophisticated digital effects. An unprecedented film-event in which the spectacle of cinema meets the emotion of art.
Michelangelo Buonarroti is played by Enrico Lo Verso (Il ladro di bambini, Lamerica, Così ridevano, I Miserabili, Maltese – Il Romanzo del Commissario, Raffaello – il Principe delle Arti) who impersonates the absolute genius of universal art, the shy and restless man, capable of strong contrasts and passions, the author of immortal and ‘infinite’ works. All the strength and power of Michelangelo’s personality have been faithfully delineated in the movie through the hundreds of Letters and Rhymes that the artist has left us, and find an echo in the raw, edgy immensity of the nature where the story of Michelangelo takes place: an imposing Cava of Marble of Carrara, where it’s documented that Michelangelo went to choose personally the stone for his masterpieces: that material which, according to the artist himself, “already contained in power the figure”.
