Andy Garcia's performances are always sluggish, and the results are tepid. While the "Rogue Empire" script is not bad, the "Modigliani" script is terrible.
Although it has been marked at the beginning: fictional. But after all, the story unfolding between two famous painters has subtle facts intervening in it, so it is difficult to convince the public to turn the story into a mediocre Hollywood style (the director is not a Hollywood director) just by making up two characters.
Because to represent a talented and rebellious painter, one must make the other opponent despicable and full of jealousy. Although I hate Picasso very much, this guy's personality is not noble, but such a contrast is still unacceptable.
And Modigliani's flirtatiousness is not mentioned in it, only showing that he is deeply in love with Jenny, his decadence and alcoholic weakness have turned into deliberate cynicism, just like Wilde is shown as a martyr Like the others, it is a vulgar creativity.
Not acknowledging weakness because of the talent of the artist, not acknowledging the life of an asshole is an asshole, and beautifying and sanctifying it, although BS is not too uncomfortable. However, to describe a painter as not serious and decadent at first, and finally accepting the challenge angrily, pouring all his energy into the competition, condensing love into a famous painting, and getting everyone's approval, but dying with a marriage certificate that he wanted to give his lover, this kind of It's an insult to need "fiction" for a rotten story.
In fact, Jenny sacrificed herself for Modigliani and committed suicide with nine months of pregnancy. This fact is already dramatic enough, and there is no need for Modigliani to be killed at the same time as the award for the painting as "icing on the cake".
The female lead is the role of Farinelli's wife in "The Peerless Beauty", the French actress Elsa Zebestian, who once again played the role of the saint.
Also, I always thought Andy Garcia was Italian, probably because he was the godfather in his first movie. It turned out only now that he was Cuban.
