The movie, of course, will drag on. Michelangelo's two-plus hours of throwing end up tiring.
But how delicious is the daily life of that time. And the message is clear. The perfectionist Michelangelo wanted to create everything. But in a complex world, for this it is necessary to rush between the strong of this world (that), betray, violate their obligations, become the cause of the tragedies of other people. . .
In general, if you don’t mind spending two and a half hours of your life on a trip by time machine to 17th century Italy, then you should definitely check it out.
P.S. I posted my review in a group on Facebook - so the people were poisoned about Usmanov-producer and Konchalovsky-adaptive. who used to "clean himself under Lenin." And I realized that the film is autobiographical to some extent - Konchalovsky's problem of the creator, who is forced to bow to the powerful of the world, should be well known and felt. . .
