      I have been a student of Michelangelo for many years. This movie clearly presented, with timeline, all of the artist's works along with much background information on each. I watched it several times for the information. It is for students of art and lovers of this artist. Excellent!

      It was good accuriate biographical information, but dull at times and depressing, I think he had a pretty unhappy life.

      This documentary is astounding in it's detail of the life and work of Michelangelo. The segment about his work on the Sistene Chapel is illuminating in it's scope, and the incredible modesty and faith of this great artist. This is a must see for all art enthusist.
