It is probably the closest Derek Jarman came to a mainstream film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd yet the film is a uniquely complex and lucid treatment of Jarman's major concerns: violence, history, homosexuality, and the relation between film and painting. In particular, according to Leo Bersani and Ulysse Dutoit, \u003ci\u003eCaravaggio\u003c\/i\u003e is unlike Jarman's other work in avoiding a sentimentalising of gay relationships and in making no neat distinction between the exercise and the suffering of violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFilm-making involves a coercive power which, for Bersani and Dutoit, Jarman may, without admitting it to himself, have found deeply seductive. But in \u003ci\u003eCaravaggio\u003c\/i\u003e this power is renounced, and the result is Jarman’s most profound, unsettling and astonishing reflection on sexuality and identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PTY Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47470231912684,"sku":"9781839022562","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781839022562-caravaggio.jpg?v=1775214279"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/ulysse-dutoit.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
