The Full Monteverdi is a 2007 British film written and directed by John La Bouchardière and based on his live production of the same name, itself based on Claudio Monteverdi's fourth book of madrigals (1603) which, in turn, is a collection of settings of poems by such Italian Renaissance poets as Giovanni Battista Guarini, Ottavio Rinuccini and Torquato Tasso.

[3] The apparently avant-garde structure and nonlinear narrative of the film are based in the musical material, which is often of highly contrapuntal polyphony, and follows the stories of the different couples in a manner similar to the vocal interchanges in the madrigals.

[5] It has been broadcast in Australia, Canada, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden and the U.K.[6] The film was released on DVD by Naxos Records.

[7] The film was given a further theatrical release in South Africa by Ster-Kinekor, opening on 2 April 2010, and in New Zealand by Rialto Distribution, on 24 June 2010.

Verrone hailed The Full Monteverdi as "both visually and narratively dazzling... an innovative and experimental film, the kind of adaptation that rarely is attempted or gets made: one that flies in the face of convention daring to be different.
