This was SUCH a disappointment for several reasons. First and most important, most of the tape was shot of the ceiling before its restoration--and that is its MAJOR shortcoming. In my opinion, it should either be taken off the market or be advertised as a video done before the cleaning. Second, the quality of the tape is quite poor. And, finally, the accompanying text is poorly written, especially when it gets into subjects like the soul. In all, a major disappointment--but one that leaves the market open to a really outstanding video, should anyone care to make it.

This video is so badly filmed, like an amateur home-video, and of such poor quality that we have decided not to add it to our collection. The date of 1996 would suggest that it will discuss the recently cleaned Sistine Ceiling - the reason for us buying it - but it was obviously made before the Chapel frescoes were restored. Very disappointing!!

Don't purchase this video, it is poorly made and the visuals are not clear.

Where is the restored ceiling?

This video suffers from not having adequate visuals. Though the content is good, since the ceiling has been renovated marvelously, this video is out of date.
