Michelangelo: Love and Death (PG)

Michelangelo: Love and Death

Exhibition on Screen


The spectacular sculptures and paintings of Michelangelo seem so familiar to us, but what do we really know about this Renaissance giant?


Michelangelo’s genius is evident in everything he touched. Beautiful and diverse works such as the towering statue of David, the moving Pietà in the Papal Basilica of St. Peter and his tour-de-force, the Sistine Chapel ceiling, still leave us breathless today. Spanning his 88 years, we take a cinematic journey through the print and drawing rooms of Europe through the great chapels and museums of Florence, Rome and the Vatican to seek out a deeper understanding of this legendary figure’s tempestuous life, his relationship with his contemporaries and his incredible legacy. Through expert commentary, stunning visuals and Michelangelo’s own words, this film takes a fresh look at a master artist whose life and genius are celebrated in every mark he made. Returning to cinemas in 2025 to celebrate the 550th anniversary of this iconic artist’s birth.

Riefenstahl (PG)

Riefenstahl

One of the most eye-opening, chilling, fascinating and frightening documentaries of the year, exploring Leni Riefenstahl's artistic legacy and her complex ties to the Nazi regime.


It was at the (Mussolini-era) Venice Film Festival in 1938 that Riefenstahl scooped the top prize for ‘Olympia’, her sublime, suspect paean to the Berlin Olympics. Her career peaked, after which it plunged dramatically. Veiel’s film shows how it happened, and how she tried and failed to salvage her reputation, juxtaposing her self-portrayal with evidence suggesting awareness of the regime's atrocities. This is a captivating insight into the private estate of the filmmaker, who became world-famous with her Nazi propaganda film ‘Triumph of the Will’. (Some subtitles)
