About Modigliani

Johnny Depp directs this personal and universal tale of art, love and rejection told - one over a whirlwind seventy-two hours in the life of bohemian artist Amedeo Modigliani (Riccardo Scamarcio) through the streets and bars of war torn Paris in 1916.

On the run from the police, his desire to leave the city is dismissed by lover, poet & critic Beatrice Hastings (Antonia Desplat) and fellow artists Maurice Utrillo (Bruno Gouery) and Chaim Soutine (Ryan McParland). Seeking advice from his art dealer and friend, Leopold Zborowski (Stephen Graham) the chaos in Modi’s mind reaches a crescendo when faced with collector Maurice Gangnat (Al Pacino), who has the power to change his life.

Depp was asked to direct the film by Al Pacino and took inspiration from Marcel Carné’s Hotel Du Nord and Les Enfants du Paradis, Chaplin & Keaton, Jim Jarmusch & Emir Kusturica, taking the audience straight to the heart of the artists struggle in all its dirt, beauty, horror, romance and humour.
