Kurz-Dokumentarfilm
Documentary about the life of Michelangelo, told through shots of the Italian countryside, old engravings and especially through his works. The starting point of the film is a sonnet by Vittoria Colonna, who set a lyrical monument to her contemporary and friend Michelangelo, which Curt Oertel translated into film. The film received worldwide attention, especially because the adaptation of the topic was considered a new form of cinematic historiography.
