Movie Reviews of Modigliani
Movie Review: Masterpiece!
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is nothing less than a masterpiece in my opinion! It really fascinated me, not having any knowledge about Modigliano in advance. The acting is brilliant and the story masterly told. It is so gripping seeing how hard life was for this artist. But also interesting to witness the feud he and Picasso were having. Tragedy, love and rivalry are all themes in this film. Living in total poverty and having suffered great loss, one can wonder how anyone can survive and also stay sane. And perhaps it wasn't possible.
The film is about Amedeo Clemente Modigliani's (July 12, 1884 - January 24, 1920) life as an artist in France in the beginning of the 20th century. He was an Italian artist of Jewish heritage and was practising both painting and sculpture. The film tells about his relationship with Jeanne H?buterne who loves him so much that she can't live without him and because of that has to make inhuman sacrifices. And her father disapproves the affair so much that he commits unspeakable acts and makes their life even harder. It shows the rivalry between Modigliani and Picasso. And how he never in life gets the recognition he deserves, his disappointments and hopes to succeed. How he never gives up. And the tragic death of this great artist.
Summary of Modigliani
Andy Garcia stars as the painter Modigliani, an Italian Jew, has fallen in love with Jeanne, a beautiful Catholic girl. The couple has an illegitimate child, and Jeanne's bigoted parents send the baby to a faraway convent to be raised by nuns. Modigliani is distraught and needs money to rescue and raise his child. The answer arrives in Paris' annual art competition. Prize money and a guaranteed career await the winner. Modigliani and his dearest friend and rival Picasso believe that competitions are beneath true artists like themselves, but with the welfare of his child on the line, Modigliani signs up. Picasso follows suit and soon Paris is aflutter with excitement over the outcome.Art House & International DVD Video
