Going into this, I literally knew nothing about Modigliani as a person, except he was a painter who never painted anyone's eyes. Whether or not this story is acturate, it's a very interesting portrayl of this man's life.
It's a very tragic story, centred around Modigliani's relationship with his wife, his relationship with Picasso and his relationship with his art and career. It's the old-days story of a modern rock star. They're famous, they both wanna do their own work and won't settle, and they're addicted to drugs and alcohol.
The most interesting part of the film is trying to decide if he and Picasso are friends or just bitter enemies. If the film is accurate, then I'm sure it was hard for the men, themselves to decide.
If you're a huge contemporary art fan, or love biographical films, then this you'll love this movie. And, even if you're not, like me, it's still a decent film, that you could rent to entertain yourself with for a few hours.
