Description
Andy Garcia stars as the painter Modigliani, an Italian Jew, has fallen in love with Jeanne, a 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 Paris' annual art competition. Prize money and a guaranteed career await the winner. Modigliani and his dearest friend and rival Picasso believe that competitions are beneath true artists like themselves, but with the welfare of his child on the line, Modigliani signs up. Picasso follows suit and soon Paris is aflutter with excitement over the outcome.

"That's How Everyone Sees Modigliani" ~ When Art And Biography Merge.......2006-11-29
Those involved in the making of the film `Modigliani' should be exceedingly proud of this amazingly beautiful and poignant tribute to Modigliani the artist, for truly art and biography have never been so magically blended as accomplished here. I was spellbound from the opening scene of Jeanne Hebuterne's (Elsa Zylberstein) enchanting face staring into the camera to the ending with Amedeo Modigliani (Andy Garcia) dancing around the statue of Balzac on a snowy winters night. Like a poem, it ends and you are left filled with emotion and lost in profundity. `Modigliani' is truly a masterpiece in every sense of the word.
This is a film that belongs in any serious DVD collection. Purchase the CD too, the music is magnificent. My Highest Recommendation!
What a great film--Andy Garcia is terrific as always!.......2006-11-17
"Modigliani" is a very special and beautiful film about a love story in the 1920s' Paris, and one of history's greatest painters. Garcia is masterful, and Elsa Zylberstein is wonderful as his devoted "wife" and lover, Jeanne Hebuterne.
What a lovely yet ultimately sad and tragic story. Richly filmed in Romania; written and directed by Mick Davis. It is entrancing to hear Edith Piaf sing "La Vie En Rose" once again, as part of a film that is beautifully done, to say the least.
It is a UK/German/Romanian/French/Italian co-production, not the usual trash that Hollywood produces.
Those Whom Gods love..........2006-10-28
I'd give this movie an award for the best imperfect movie I've ever seen or the most impressive movie that has grown on me as I watched it or the movie with the most clichéd ridiculous first hour that gradually picked up its momentum and become a film of rare beauty and incredible power. As the title suggests, this is a film about time and life of one of the most charismatic Artists of the last century, Amedeo Modigliani (1884 - 1920). Last April, I visited a wonderful exhibit of his works in The Phillips Collection at Washington DC that hosted nearly 100 of his paintings, sculptures, and drawings on loan from U.S. and international collections. Modigliani's style is so unique and striking distinguished by strong linear rhythms and simple elongated forms that it takes only seeing couple of his stunning, sensual and aesthetical portraits to never forget him. His name, "Amedeo", has such a beautiful and sad meaning, knowing the story of his short life. "Amedeo" means beloved by God, and he sure was, talented, charming, and charismatic. But as the saying goes, the ones whom the Gods love die young. Modigliani health was very poor, and his life style did not help it. He died from tuberculosis and meningitis when he was 35. His lover, his muse, and the mother of his daughter, 21 year old Jeanne Heubeten who was pregnant with their second child by the time of Amedeo's death, did not want and could not survive him. On the day following Modigliani's death, she threw herself from the window on the fifth floor and killed herself...You may say, "How melodramatic" but life sometimes is more dramatic than any work of art or literature.
The casting of 49 year old Andy Garcia as 35 year old Modigliani seems a little strange but Garcia did his best working with the material. There was a moment in the movie when he addresses someone, "What is the matter with you?" with such obvious Brooklyn accent that I felt like watching "Godfather, part 4 ½". Actually, most of the dialogs in the first hour or so were rather unintentionally funny. It seemed to me that the director tried different approaches to his film. Modigliani came from Italy - we see many times the parade of clowns on the streets of his native Livorno as the recurring image that could've came from Fellini's films. Then, film looked in Baz Luhrmann's "Moulin-Rouge" direction with the songs and music from different epochs (and I said to myself, or please, no). Davis also compares Modigliani's life with that of another Amadeus, struggling genius - child from 18th century Vienna -the film brought a Mozart / Salieri theme with a successful and rich fellow painter who comparing to Salieri happened to be a very talented Artist himself - Pablo Picasso. So, for the first hour, the film struggled (almost as much as its protagonist) but then, something happened. The film's creator realized that the Artists are interesting not only because of their personal problems, weaknesses, struggles, preferences but first and foremost because of their talents, of their abilities to create, to look at the world like no one before them did, to capture their impressions in the forms and images that even after they are long gone make our hearts beat faster, make us say, "This is beauty, this is poetry, this is perfection". The scenes of incredible power just come one after another, the scenes with few or no words spoken at all. Among them, Picasso's and Modigliani's visit to one of the titans of 19 century, August Renoir in his country mansion. Renoir was shown as the old, wheel chair bound man who had to be spoon -fed by his nurse but who obviously had sharp mind and more wisdom than both Picasso and Modigliani together. Later, there was a long scene showing young painters - Chaim Soutine, Maurice Utrillo, Diego Rivera, Pablo Picasso, and Amedeo Modigliani working on their paintings for the Grand Prix de Peinture, the yearly art competition at the famed Salon des Artistes. Close to the movie's end comes my favorite scene - the opening of the Salon with the presentation of each painting - there is no rivalry, no competition any more - each work of art shines and every artist is happy to admit the talent and uniqueness of his fellow competitor.
So, what do I think of "Modigliani", the movie directed by Mick Davis? I enjoyed it and I would recommend it to others. Andy Garcia, who is not my favorite actor, won me over with his performance in spite of the problems (many) with the script. I've been always interested in the period of post War World 1 Art history when everybody who was anybody tried to be in Paris, the Art Mecca for many generations of Artists and the film's depiction of the Modigliani's contemporaries was interesting and made me want to research more about them. I'd like to see more movies with the actress Elsa Zylberstein who played Jeanne - her melancholic beauty, grace and talent are undeniable and helped to make the movie based on the Artist's life compelling, convincing, and remarkable.
P.S. According to Pablo Picasso's personal physician, the Artist who had survived Modigliani by more than 50 years, whispered his name on his deathbed.
3.5/5 or 7/10
The Inaccurate, funny, but fair overall.. review........2006-10-03
Historically, this movie is almost a pure fantasy from beginning to end. But at least it had the decency to say it was a 'fiction loosely based on the events' at the very beginning. My main problem with Andy wasn't so much his age, (That 'Picasso' didn't look like any Spaniard either!) but rather that he was a tad too 'coherent'(but charming all the same) through most of the movie to be Modigliani ;O) ..As for Picasso, I saw nary a trace of the real man anywhere in this film. (though found the actor playing the 'name' to be funny in parts anyways..) Historically, they were not rivals. Picasso actually rather liked Modigliani (when he was sober anyways) and respected his art. But found him way too self-destructive to associate with him at all closely. But despite all this the movie, though a mess in parts, also had some lovely moments, and I found Elsa Zyberstein to be very lovely even though the script really didn't give her all that much to work with. And I also found the part with all the artists in the 'throes of creative ecstasy' for the art contest to be kinda interesting (& unintentionally perhaps a little hilarious as well.. I ought to try throwing my easel, and raising my hands up in the air when I paint sometime.. )
I have to admit, the last section where the thugs/thieves were beating on Modi and trying to take his marriage-license away.. almost had me laughing with it's 'tiny-violin all-too melodramatic moment'. If they were REAL thugs, when they saw the license - they would have helped him up, dusted him off, and wished him the 'Best of luck with that..' LOL sorry.. couldn't resist! ;O)
It's supposed to be a very tragic story, but It seems I found this film funnier than a lot of the recent COMEDYS Hollywood's been trying to push of late. Oh well. In all seriousness - A decent (though not very accurate) film, with a few rather nice moments. Accept it as an entertaining movie alone - Not a historical bio of any kind.
lovesmovies.......2006-03-18
This is a story about a painter living in the same place and at the same time as other world famous painters who I had never heard of. I thought the story, although predictable, was very interesting...a bit of a history lesson. Andy was loveable in spite of his character and that was probably why I liked the movie so much.

Customer Reviews:
This is a "MUST" for your swimsuit collection...!!.......2003-03-15
Great Model, Great act..!!
Be honest, Heidi Klum is my favourite model...she is lovely, cute, sexy, gorgeous,...
Also, this issue includes many other beautiful models & the "paint swimsuit" you never seen before...anyway, get one for your DVD, and get one for yor "Private Collection"...I did it!!
body paint without the bodies.......2001-03-28
I thought the video would be more tantalizing than the print issue. WRONG!! Yes, there are the beautiful models in the swim suits, along with the inane dialogue as they tell about what it was like. The body paint segment shows the women, obstacles strategically placed in front of revealing parts, just slightly out of focus or at a distance. Do not buy this tape if you're expecting something "hot". Only buy the tape if you are desparate to see their backs in thong bikinis. Don't expect to see nudity.
Best one yet........2000-11-22
I've seen plenty of swimsuit videos, however this one had a show of an artist painting on a bathingsuit. Basically the woman was naked except for the paint she was wearing. The women were hot and it was filmed at an exotic beach. Nice video and great photography. Worth the money and would make a great Christmas gift for the right guy...Regards Frank...

"That's How Everyone Sees Modigliani" ~ When Art And Biography Merge.......2006-11-29
Those involved in the making of the film `Modigliani' should be exceedingly proud of this amazingly beautiful and poignant tribute to Modigliani the artist, for truly art and biography have never been so magically blended as accomplished here. I was spellbound from the opening scene of Jeanne Hebuterne's (Elsa Zylberstein) enchanting face staring into the camera to the ending with Amedeo Modigliani (Andy Garcia) dancing around the statue of Balzac on a snowy winters night.

What a great film--Andy Garcia is terrific as always!.......2006-11-17
"Modigliani" is a very special and beautiful film about a love story in the 1920s' Paris, and one of history's greatest painters. Garcia is masterful, and Elsa Zylberstein is wonderful as his devoted "wife" and lover, Jeanne Hebuterne.
What a lovely yet ultimately sad and tragic story. Richly filmed in Romania; written and directed by Mick Davis. It is entrancing to hear Edith Piaf sing "La Vie En Rose" once again, as part of a film that is beautifully done, to say the least.
It is a UK/German/Romanian/French/Italian co-production, not the usual trash that Hollywood produces.

I'd give this movie an award for the best imperfect movie I've ever seen or the most impressive movie that has grown on me as I watched it or the movie with the most clichéd ridiculous first hour that gradually picked up its momentum and become a film of rare beauty and incredible power. As the title suggests, this is a film about time and life of one of the most charismatic Artists of the last century, Amedeo Modigliani (1884 - 1920). Last April, I visited a wonderful exhibit of his works in The Phillips Collection at Washington DC that hosted nearly 100 of his paintings, sculptures, and drawings on loan from U.S. and international collections. Modigliani's style is so unique and striking distinguished by strong linear rhythms and simple elongated forms that it takes only seeing couple of his stunning, sensual and aesthetical portraits to never forget him. His name, "Amedeo", has such a beautiful and sad meaning, knowing the story of his short life. "Amedeo" means beloved by God, and he sure was, talented, charming, and charismatic. But as the saying goes, the ones whom the Gods love die young. Modigliani health was very poor, and his life style did not help it. He died from tuberculosis and meningitis when he was 35. His lover, his muse, and the mother of his daughter, 21 year old Jeanne Heubeten who was pregnant with their second child by the time of Amedeo's death, did not want and could not survive him. On the day following Modigliani's death, she threw herself from the window on the fifth floor and killed herself...You may say, "How melodramatic" but life sometimes is more dramatic than any work of art or literature.
