文艺复兴时代最伟大人物的一生及作品。
500年前，米开朗基罗创造了三件伟大的艺术品：戴维像、梵帝冈西斯廷教堂的天花壁画和罗马的圣彼得大教学圆顶。
本片会向大家展示米开朗基罗如何由愤怒青年变成罗马的引以自豪的人。现代专家示范西斯廷教堂天花壁画绘画技巧，甚至连工作台也根据米开朗基罗的设计制成。一位雕刻家利用传统工具，把一块和戴维像所用材料同出一山的大理石雕刻成戴维的鼻。但以他们的技术和努力能否完成这艰巨的任务？还是他们缺少了一个重要因素：天才
本片还将查考米开朗基罗的私生活。从他的书信和诗词中重建他生命中的重要时刻，是什么令他对艺术为何如此着迷与灵威的启发。这位艺术界超级明星是否如我们所知是个贫穷、饱受折磨和寂寞的人，还是他巧妙地改变了世人对他的看法？
Unveiling the man behind the myth. Five hundred years gao, Michelangelo created three of the art worlds greatest icons: the statue of David, the painted ceifing of the sistine Chapel in the Vatican and the dome of St. peter's in Rome.
This revealing documentary traces his development from angry young man to pride of Rome. His prodigious talent has led people to describe him as being more divine than human. Modern experts demonstrate the techniques used in painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, even working on scaffolding based on Michelangelo's design. A sculptor uses traditional tools to carve David's nose out of marble taken from the same mountains as used for the original statue of David. But will these experts' skill and dedication be sufficient for the completion of these arduous tasks, or are they missing one essential asset: pure genius?
His personal life is also examined. Was Michelangelo's personal life as troubled as legend leads us to believe? Inspired by his letters and poems, this film reconstructs key periods of his life to provide a fascinating insight into the obsessions and inspirations of this complex character. We discover that the great artist was the ultimate spin-doctor; he manipulated his first biographers and skilfully moulded his image as a tortured outsider. Was art's first superstar the poverty-stricken, tortured, lonely outsider that many of us believe? Or was he a cunning spin-doctor who skilfully noulded his own image?
