Als fan van -Modi- een must-see film !
Het leven ongezouten van een kunstenaar die pas na zijn dood de erkenning kreeg voor zijn grootsheid,.. waar kennen we dat van "Vincent". De film is groots en meeslepend over de strijd met zichzelf en zijn omgeving. De uitdaging van het leven als kunstenaar en het overleven met Up's en Down,s!
-Grandioos en puur-
Modigliani door Andy Garcia is een meesterwerk voor liefhebbers!
