Modigliani
Time Out says
From the outset of this overwrought biopic, the famed Jewish-Italian painter
(Garcia) is established as a self-destructive rebel: He drinks instead of taking
care of his family, spits in potential patrons' faces and pisses off Picasso
(Djalili), who is alternately his confidant and nemesis. But instead of trying
to provide insight into this genius's debilitating madness, Davis prefers to
wallow in incoherent and clichéd misery, punctuated by poetically oblique
imagery. For all its art-house trappings, Modigliani is at heart a
Hollywood flick, complete with mind-numbing dialogue ("You can't change
destiny"), cheesy music and a climactic art competition concluded by a slowly
started round of applause.
