卡拉瓦乔 (1986)
Caravaggio
影片是对性、犯罪行为和艺术的一种深思，导演成功地将影象和绘画这两件生命中重要的元素呈现出来，丰富地描绘出意大利传奇画家的一生。 本片是一部传记体影片。英国的先锋派导演贾曼也是一名画家，他怀着对卡拉瓦乔这位伟大的艺术家的崇敬心理和对画家生活的浓厚兴趣，拍了这部关于艺术家生活片断的作品。本片的手法和题材不拘一格，从各角度都给人以新鲜感。本片获得1986年柏林国际电影节银熊奖，是英国1986年最卖座影片之一。

Caravaggio is a 1986 British historical drama film directed by Derek Jarman. The film is a fictionalised retelling of the life of Baroque painter Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio.
Production
The idea for a film on the life of the Italian painter Caravaggio was proposed to Jarman by the art dealer Nicholas Ward Jackson. At the time, Jarman knew little about Caravaggio’s life, but was drawn to the painter’s radical reworking of Christian iconography, particularly his use of contemporary figures as sacred subjects, such as portraying a street prostitute as Mary Magdalene.
While developing the project, Jarman drew parallels between Caravaggio and the Italian filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini. In his memoir Dancing Ledge, Jarman wrote: “Had Caravaggio been reincarnated in this century it would have been as a film-maker, Pasolini”. During this period, Jarman also wrote an unproduced screenplay, P.P.P.
Jarman wrote the first draft of the screenplay in Rome in 1978. Over the following years he produced approximately sixteen subsequent drafts, during which time he experienced considerable difficulty securing financing for the project. One draft, dated 1982, featured a metafictional framing device in which the filmmaker “Derek Jarman” is persuaded to make a pornographic film based on the life of Caravaggio.
During the extended development period before the film was eventually financed by the British Film Institute, Jarman remained active across multiple artistic disciplines. He painted, directed music videos including Marianne Faithfull’s Broken English (1979), designed sets for Ken Russell’s stage production of Stravinsky’s The Rake’s Progress (1982), published his memoir Dancing Ledge (1984), and returned to making Super 8 films.
Jarman auditioned actors in his flat, filming them on video as part of the casting process. He cast Nigel Terry in the title role, in part because of Terry’s resemblance to the only known painted portrait traditionally identified as Caravaggio. The roles of Ranuccio and Lena were given to Sean Bean and Tilda Swinton respectively, both of whom were relative newcomers.
