Modigliani

Painter Amedeo Modigliani (Andy Garcia), famous for his portraits with the singularly recognizable elongated faces, is the subject of this engrossing biographical drama by Mick Davis. Along with tracing his career, the film follows the Jewish artist's attempts to win a Parisian art competition to raise money so he can care for the baby he fathered with his Catholic lover, Jeanne (Elsa Zylberstein), whose parents want nothing to do with him.
