Plot

Modigliani Plot Summary

What happens in Modigliani from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 13 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Set in postwar Paris, 1919, this biopic follows the life of Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani as he moves through a city buzzing with art, ambition, and restless magnetism. The film centers on how his fierce talent collides with, and is tempered by, his relationship with Pablo Picasso, along with the magnetic pull of Jeanne Hébuterne, a young French Catholic woman who becomes the other half of his stormy world. The landscape of the narrative is as much about intimate longing as it is about the brutal realities of an artist’s life—economic hardship, fragile health, and the volatile social circles that fed and challenged them.
