This is hogwash, but high-grade hogwash, the sort of intoxicating tosh guaranteed to make you chortle on a Friday night. In the first few minutes we see an improbably sexy Leonardo (Tom Riley) puffing opium, then cut to Hugh Bonneville in the buff as the Duke of Milan, bottom-slapping a naked lad out of his boudoir before being stabbed in the gullet. With its florid acting, disorienting music and gorgeous CGI of Renaissance Florence, you’d never guess much of this was shot in Swansea.
1/8. Historical fantasy drama about the early life of Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci, exploring his turbulent youth during the Renaissance and how he became embroiled in the cult known as the Sons of Mithras. After a delicate truce between Milan and Florence is disrupted, the painter finds himself in the midst of a political storm. Stars Tom Riley and Laura Haddock.
