Modigliani - Il principe

A coming-of-age tale centered on Modigliani's youth. Amedeo moves to Paris in his early 20s, dies while still young, and all his artist friends, immersed in Bohemian madness, are his contemporaries. "Telling the story of Modigliani also means celebrating the culture of a united Europe," Longoni explains, "Paris, in the years around World War I, brought together the leading artists of the century. The French capital was a place where borders and barriers were not built but where people reflected on the future and on art beyond conflict."

The Bricklayers

1976 · ★ 6.6

Though Theofilos remained unknown in his lifetime, this biographical drama explores the painter's life from his birth on the Isle of Lesbos (Lesvos) in 1868 to the time when he developed his characteristic style, following his discharge from the Greek army.
