So what happened when she took him home to stay with her partner, 67, and their twins? Welcome to an intriguing ménage a trois There is something captivating and other-worldly about Tilda Swinton; her powder-white skin, as luminescent as a teenager's, her heavily lidded deep green eyes and that shock of incredible red hair. Even if she were not dressed in an avant-garde gold Dior gown and carrying a Bafta statuette, as she was on Sunday night, there would be a reason to stare. Indeed, she is so extraordinary that at first you barely register whether there is a man on her arm, and if so who it is. This week, a handsome German-born artist named Sandro Kopp - 29 to her 47 - was playing the role of consort. Kopp met her while playing a Centaur on the Chronicles Of Narnia film three years ago.

The film is a fictionalised re-telling of the life of Baroque painter Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. As an adult, Caravaggio still lives under the roof and paints with the funding of Del Monte. Caravaggio is shown employing street people, drunks and prostitutes as models for his intense, usually religious paintings (see the article on the painter for examples). He is depicted as frequently brawling, gambling, getting drunk and is implied to sleep with both male and female models, including the male Jerusaleme and the female contortionist Pipo (Dawn Archibald). One day, Ranuccio (Sean Bean), a street fighter for pay, catches Caravaggio's eye as a subject and potential lover. In keeping with Caravaggio's use of contemporary dress for his Biblical figures, Jarman intentionally includes several anachronisms in the film that don't fit with Caravaggio's life in the 16th century.

Their relationship is fiery and passionate, but it is the focus of gossip and derision throughout the kingdom.

Work on the script began before The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was released, so filming could begin before the actors grew too old for their parts.
Director Andrew Adamson wanted to make the film more spectacular than the first, and created an action sequence not in the novel. The Narnians were designed to look wilder as they have been hiding from persecution, stressing the darker tone of the sequel. The filmmakers also took a Spanish influence for the antagonistic race of the Telmarines. Filming began in February 2007 in New Zealand, but unlike the previous film, the majority of shooting took place in Central Europe, because of the larger sets available in those countries.
