A seventy-two-hour whirlwind in the life of bohemian artist Amedeo Modigliani (Riccardo Scamarcio), 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, the desire to end his career and leave the city is dismissed by fellow artists Maurice Utrillo (Bruno Gouery), Chaïm Soutine (Ryan McParland) and Modi’s muse, Beatrice Hastings (Antonia Desplat). Modi seeks advice from his art dealer and friend, Leopold Zborowski (Stephen Graham) — however, after a night of hallucinations, the chaos in Modi’s mind reaches a crescendo when faced with an American collector, Maurice Gangnat (Al Pacino), who has the power to change his life.
This screening will be followed by an exclusive filmed discussion, held at Tate Modern in London, using artist Amedeo Modigliani - who died aged 35 with little success in his lifetime - as the starting point, focusing on the plight of the artist both in history and today.
