THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY
"From the age of magnificence comes a new magnificence in motion pictures."
Directed by Carol Reed
During the Italian Renaissance, Pope Julius II contracts the influential artist Michelangelo to sculpt 40 statues for his tomb. When the pope changes his mind and asks the sculptor to paint a mural in the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo doubts his painting skills and abandons the project.
