This entry is one of probably tens of thousands that have been plagiarised, in this case from the film's Wikipedia page (the wording on that page dates back to at least 2018, but the wording on this page only goes back to 2019) by an editor who was first banned, then bounced for ban evading. Reverting to its previous version from 2019.

* AnachronismStew: In keeping with Caravaggio's use of contemporary dress for his Biblical figures, Jarman intentionally includes several anachronisms in the film that do not fit with Caravaggio's life in the 16th century. In one scene, Caravaggio is in a bar lit with electric lights. Another character is seen using an electronic calculator. Car horns are heard honking outside Caravaggio's studio and in one scene Caravaggio is seen leaning on a green truck. Cigarette smoking, a motorbike, and the use of a manual typewriter also featured.

''Caravaggio'' is a 1986 film directed by Creator/DerekJarman.
It's a biopic of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caravaggio Michelangelo Caravaggio]], the famous Italian painter of the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The film gives a rather impressionistic version of his life, showing various scenes and moods rather than following a standard cradle-to-grave biopic format. We see Caravaggio as a teenage hustler who is both painting and seemingly working as a prostitute servicing older men. He comes under the patronage of Cardinal Del Monte (Creator/MichaelGough), who takes a professional and probably sexual interest in the young artist.

* AnachronismStew: The real Caravaggio had a habit of putting anachronistic stuff in his portraits of Bible scenes. The film does that too. So the movie has stuff like electric lights, the sound of a steam train, and a character using a typewriter.
* {{Biopic}}: Of the VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory sort.
** Caravaggio is known to have killed a man named Ranuccio in 1606, which required him to leave Rome to avoid arrest; the circumstances are unclear but there's some evidence that the quarrel was over a gambling debt.
** There is a passing reference in court documents to a girl named Lena who modeled for him.
** [[invoked]]WordOfGod says the movie shows Caravaggio dying of lead poisoning, although what's portrayed could be any sort of fever. In RealLife the nature of Caravaggio's death has never been firmly established. Theories include fever, lead poisoning, syphillis, and murder.
* BiTheWay: Caravaggio seems to mostly go for dudes, having a sexual relationship with his companion/assistant Jerusaleme while also being attracted to Ranuccio, but he does kiss Lena in one sexually tense scene. Ranuccio is receptive to Caravaggio's advances, although he tells Lena it's for the money.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: The dramatic moment where Lena is LettingHerHairDown is punctuated by a look right at the camera.
* {{Chiaroscuro}}: The real Caravaggio was known for dramatic use of chiaroscuro with vivid contrasts. Many scenes in the movie are shot that way, like the one where Lena and Ranuccio are exploring the catacombs with lit candles.
* DramaticDrop: Jerusaleme drops a jug of water when Lena announces she is pregnant. Just to underscore the point there's a RepeatCut showing the jug falling again from a different angle.
* EroticEating: Ranuccio makes a great show of putting all the gold coins that Caravaggio flips to him in his mouth. Finally Caravaggio does the same. Later Ranuccio puts a coin in his mouth and "feeds" it to Lena.
* FramingDevice: The story is intercut with scenes of a dying Caravaggio thinking/dreaming about his life.
* GirlFriday: A male version in the person of Jerusaleme, who is Caravaggio's companion, assistant (he mixes paint as well as holds mirrors for lighting), and lover.
* HappyFlashback: The scene where Lena announces she's leaving Ranuccio for her rich new boyfriend features Ranuccio's quick flashback, a montage of some of their romantic scenes.
* {{Hemoerotic}}: A sweaty, very homoerotic fight/duel between Caravaggio and Ranuccio ends with Ranuccio suckering Caravaggio and slicing a wound on his stomach. Caravaggio touches his hands to the wound, lovingly smears blood over Ranuccio's face, and calls them "blood brothers." This is immediately followed by a cut to a scene where a jealous Lena is screaming at Ranuccio.
* IfICantHaveYou: After she dumps him for a much richer boyfriend (the RealLife Scipione Borghese, known to have been a patron of Caravaggio), Ranuccio murders Lena.
* LettingHerHairDown: For the whole of her relationship with Ranuccio, Lena has all her hair tucked in under a head scarf. So when she's getting ready for the ball and she takes the scarf off and lets her long, vividly red hair down, it's dramatic. She then looks [[BreakingTheFourthWall straight at the camera]].
