Plot Summary
Set in Paris in 1919,
biopic centers on the life of late Italian artist Amedeo
Modigliani, focusing on his last days as well as his rivalry
with Pablo Picasso. Modigliani, a Jew, has fallen in love with
Jeanne, a young and 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 the shape of Paris' annual art competition.
Prize money and a guaranteed career await the winner. Neither
Modigliani, nor his dearest friend and 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 Modigliani signs up for
the competition in a drunken and drug-induced tirade. Picasso
follows suit and all of Paris is aflutter with excitement at
who will win. With the balance of his relationship with Jeanne
on the line, Modigliani tackles this work with the hopes of
creating a masterpiece, and knows that all the artists of
Paris are doing the same.
