O Pecado
Co-Producer
Florença, início do século XVI. Embora amplamente considerado um génio pelos seus contemporâneos, Michelangelo Buonarroti (Alberto Testone) é reduzido à pobreza e encontra-se esgotado na sua luta para terminar o teto da Capela Sistina. Quando o seu comissário e chefe da nobreza Della Rovere, Papa Júlio II, morre, Michelangelo fica obcecado em obter o melhor mármore para completar a sua tumba. A lealdade do artista é testada quando Leão X, da família rival Medici, ascende ao papado e o encarrega de uma nova encomenda lucrativa - a fachada da Basílica de San Lorenzo. Forçado a mentir para manter o favor de ambas as famílias, Michelangelo é progressivamente atormentado por suspeitas e alucinações, levando-o a examinar implacavelmente as suas próprias falhas morais e artísticas. Escrito e dirigido por Andrei Konchalovsky, "O Pecado" é uma reflexão emocionante sobre a agonia e o êxtase da grandeza individual e a profunda humanidade por trás da lenda do Renascimento.
