The film tells the story of Amedeo Modigliani's bitter rivalry with Pablo Picasso while Pablo Picasso has already established himself in the art world, and his tragic romance with Jeanne Hebuterne.
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.

The real-life Modigliani did indeed live a short, tragic life, but this factually inaccurate, plodding film makes it feel twice as long.
No one expected a documentary, but serious art-history students may feel let down.

It's hard to take this oddball movie seriously, right down to the undisguised streetwise-American accent of Andy Garcia as the Italian Jew Amedeo Modigliani.

Time Out
Instead of trying to provide insight into this genius's debilitating madness, Davis prefers to wallow in incoherent and clichéd misery, punctuated by poetically oblique imagery.
