Lentorama 2014: We're Ready for Your Closeup, Your Holiness

Day 35: Una vita scellerata

This film is based on the autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini, a 16th century Florentine who was a gifted goldsmith, musician, and soldier. He found favor with the Vatican (most notably Clement VII) in all those areas, and lived on of those lives that defines the Renaissance.

All of this comes from his Wikipedia entry, as the entry for the film on IMDB has almost no details as to the plot. Max von Sydow plays Clement, and Ben Kingsley shows up as "Governor." Interested as to how they managed with the film being in Italian.
