Synopsis

Our take

Behind this ambitious portrait of Michelangelo is the directing hand of Oscar®-nominee Andrey Konchalovskiy. Vibrantly capturing the inner life of the artistic genius while subverting the well-worn tropes of the modern biopic, Sin offers a sublime look at the troubled times of the Renaissance era.
