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."
