Modigliani is a 2004 semi-biographical film of the Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani. Set in Paris in 1919, this biopic
presents the life of Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani, centering, artistically, on his relationship to and rivalry with Pablo
Picasso when they both lived in Paris. Modigliani, an Italian Jew from Livorno, has fallen in love with Jeanne, a young
and beautiful French Catholic girl. The couple has a child, and Jeanne's bigoted father sends the baby to a faraway
convent to be raised by nuns. Modigliani is distraught but needs money to rescue and raise his child. Paris' annual art
competition is in the offing. Prize money and a guaranteed career await the winner.
Neither Modigliani nor his rival Picasso have ever entered the competition, believing that it is beneath true artists like
themselves. But push comes to shove with the welfare of his child on the line, and the impoverished Modigliani signs
up for the competition in a drunken and drug-induced act at the center of a cafe frequented by artists, including
Picasso, who is, by Modigliani signing the roster for the competition, himself induced to sign.
All of Paris is aflutter with excitement at who will win. Modigliani tackles the work of his entry with the hopes of
creating a masterpiece, and knows that all the artists of Paris are doing the same. Once completed, he calls his agent
and dearest friend, Zbo, personally to take the painting to the competition and to make sure no one touches it.
While his friend is taking the painting, Modigliani is at City Hall waiting to finally obtain a marriage license. City Hall
closes before he is called, but he manages to persuade the woman clerk who is shooing him out to have mercy and
give him the license anyway because he has a beautiful daughter and another on the way�and because he is an
artist, as is she! As the last person to leave, he decides to celebrate with one drink. Unfortunately his addiction,
and his nervousness about the competition, make him drink many more.
The competition was going to start at eight o'clock, and when he realizes he is very late he finally rushes out,
without paying. While drinking, he had been asked whether he had the money to pay, and he had answered that
he had 5,000 francs (the prize money) and could buy everyone in the cafe a drink. Two guys that were in the bar
follow him and assault and severely beat him, under the assumption that he has a lot of money. Once they find
that he has no money they leave him in the snow, bloody and more than half dead.
His painting of Jeanne in a blue dress he had stolen from a shop window wins the competition, besting even
Picasso's cubist portrait entitled "Modigliani." Unaware of this victory, he somehow manages to make it home,
where Jeanne washes the blood from his face. But then his artist friends come, realize that he needs to be in a
hospital, and take him there over Jeanne's protests. He dies in hospital. Jeanne commits suicide by falling from
a window. They are buried together, along with the unborn child.
The film was not well received by some critics. New York Times critic Stephen Holden wrote, "The best and
maybe the only use to be made of the catastrophic screen biography Modigliani is to serve as a textbook
outline of how not to film the life of a legendary artist." On the other hand, Rex Reed of the New York
Observer said this was "A film of vitality, with imagery as haunting and romantic as it is intense." Rotten
Tomatoes says that 79% of the audience liked the film.
The musical score, composed and conducted by Guy Farley, is not too dissimilar
from how Georges Delerue would have scored a film like that.
This is not my rip, but not culled from ffshrine either.
