Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaModigliani's first name was Amedeo. It translates to "Lover of God." Mozart had the same first name, although Modigliani's name is the Italian version, while Mozart's is the Latin.
- GoofsIn the movie, Frida Kahlo, the wife of Diego Riviera appears. But Frida was born in 1907, so in 1920 she would have been 13, while in the movie she is portrayed as an adult. She married Diego only in 1929.
- Quotes
Amedeo Modigliani: Tell me, Pablo, how do you make love to a cube?
- Crazy creditsThe opening title card includes a disclaimer that any paintings shown are not actual works by the artists depicted, but the Picasso portrait of Modigliani, central to the plot line, is a near perfect copy, if not the actual original.
Featured review
An Amazing Film, An Amazing Performance
The story of Modigliani is well-known. However, this film gives it life with a wonderful script, amazing cinematography, and mind-blowing performances by Andy Garcia and Elsa Zylberstein, a little-known French actress. I was glued to the screen from start to finish and have recommended it to everyone. If this film, Garcia, and Zylberstein don't receive Academy Award nominations, there's something wrong with Hollywood... at least more than is already wrong with it.
Run don't walk to the nearest theatre showing "Modigiliani". Forget the mega-publicized studio films being released now (Winter 2004-2005). See it while you can. It's a true find, and one that will stay with you long after you left the theatre.
