Maverick Modigliani

Documentary on the short but remarkable life of Italian painter Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920), marking the centenary of his death.

Surpassing legends and stereotypes, Modigliani made stunning avant-garde masterpieces. His life is explored here from his origins in Livorno, home of the ‘Macchiaioli’, to the Paris of Picasso and Brancusi that became the centre of modernity, to his love for the French painter and art model Jeanne Hébuterne.
