Drama

A seventy-two-hour whirlwind in the life of bohemian artist Amedeo Modigliani, known as Modi to his friends, follows a chaotic series of events through the streets of war torn Paris in 1916. On the run from the police, his desire to end his career and leave the city is dismissed by fellow artists Maurice Utrillo, Chaim Soutine and Modi’s muse, Beatrice Hastings. Modi seeks advice from his art dealer and friend, Leopold Zborowski — however, after a night of hallucinations, the chaos in Modi’s mind reaches a crescendo when faced with an American collector, Maurice Gangnat, who has the power to change his life.

Plot

Paris, 1916, in the midst of WWI--the Italian born painter and sculptor Amedeo Modigliani considers himself a commercial and critical failure. One evening in a fashionable restaurant his frustrations erupt into scandalous behavior and costly damage to the premises. Suddenly he finds himself on the run from the police. Aided by his talented but quixotic friends, Maurice Utrillo and Chaim Soutine, he intends to escape the city. He seeks funds from his art dealer, Leopold Zborowski, who informs him he can't leave because an influential collector is coming to Paris to buy his work. Modigliani's lover, Beatrice Hastings, believing in his genius, convinces him to meet the collector himself.
