In early 20th-century Paris, Pablo Picasso (Omid Djalili) had already established himself in the art world, while his friend and artistic rival Amedeo Modigliani (Andy Garcia) is trying desperately to catch up. Modigliani's problems only increase when he fathers a child out of wedlock with the noblewoman Jeanne Hébuterne (Elsa Zylberstein). Now the starving artist needs to find the money to provide for his family, but relief may come in the form of the Salon des Artistes competition.

Critics Consensus

Nearly everyone is miscast in this disjointed and slow-moving portrait of Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani.

Time Out

Aug 16, 2007

Instead of trying to provide insight into this genius's debilitating madness, Davis prefers to wallow in incoherent and clichd misery, punctuated by poetically oblique imagery.

A film of vitality, with imagery as haunting and romantic as it is intense.

1/4

Thanks to writer-director Mick Davis, the film, like its subject, dies young.

Just another artistic sacrifice to life's ironies, cruelties, and bad filmmakers.

No one expected a documentary, but serious art-history students may feel let down.

2/5

The real-life Modigliani did indeed live a short, tragic life, but this factually inaccurate, plodding film makes it feel twice as long.
