Botticelli in the Fire by Jordan Tannahill
4.0
Oh this sent me for a loop! Botticelli in the Fire explores queerness, community, and self-image through the anachronistic retelling of Botticelli (Sandro) and Da Vinci’s (Leonardo) relationship alongside the origins and creation of the formers most famous work.
There’s something refreshing about the mixing of queer culture in 15th century Italy and haunting of how cyclic our experiences can be. It forces audiences to examine the imposed taboo nature of queerness and how salvation may sometimes sacrifice to the highest degree.
