Synopsis:
A film about the ‘militant pope’ Julius II and great Renaissance artist Michelangelo, and his agreement to paint the famous ceiling of the Sistine chapel, although he complained that he ‘was not a painter, but a sculptor’… Biographical spectacle whose budget was, then enormous, twelve million dollars, but which earned only four.
