Maverick Modigliani
1h 37m • Biography, Painter, Avant-Garde, French Painter • 2020

Amedeo Modigliani’s turbulent life and radical art unfold from Livorno to Paris in this vivid portrait of a modern master.

From Livorno to the artistic ferment of Paris, MAVERICK MODIGLIANI traces the life, loves and restless creativity of Amedeo Modigliani. Moving beyond myth and stereotype, Valeria Parisi’s film explores the artist’s distinctive portraits, his relationship with Jeanne Hébuterne and the avant-garde world that shaped him into one of modern art’s most enduring figures.

Rialto Recommends MAVERICK MODIGLIANI is an elegant, richly textured portrait of an artist who lived and worked at full intensity. Rather than simply retelling the legend, the film looks closely at the work itself - the elongated faces, the searching eyes, the unmistakable style - and places Modigliani within the restless modernism of Paris. A compelling watch for anyone drawn to art, passion and creative rebellion.
