3/4

Konchalovsky presents us with a Rome and Florence unlike the colorful travel brochures we're accustomed to, with cameras paying stringent attention to the dirt and grit of the time period.

"Sin" works hard to make you smell the stench of its surroundings - making Michelangelo and his artistry feel all the more like a balm.

From Leonardo to Donatello... the script written by Elena Kiseleva and Konchalovsky dedicates its time to details that are essential to understand the resonance of this atypical biographical. [Full Review in Spanish]

It is, in other words, an accurate depiction of what it takes to be a successful artist, and it's one that contemporary viewers -- inside the art world and out -- might be well served to watch carefully.

Konchalovskiy lacks Tarkovsky's curiosity and willingness to embrace ambiguity. But Sin is still too grand to be ignored.

See it for the photography, see it for the history, see it for the irony, see it for the beauty, just see the damn movie. Within 15 minutes you are both startled by the reality of the historical portrayal and amused by the hilarity of circumstances as they existed. Many people make movies about history, few attempt and require so little romanticism, because it was Michelangelo, the work speaks for itself. So we are left to take in the reality in which the art was produced and and whos behest. The who being the Church and the families who controlled it. Humanity, the Holy, and everything in-between can be seen in contrast to some of the most beautiful creations of a single man. A man, anxious, filled with doubt and the debt of a life of overpromising and overdelivering. A beautiful portrayal of a beautiful man.
