Johnny Depp's personal and universal tale of art, love and rejection told over a whirlwind seventy-two hours in the life of bohemian artist Amedeo Modigliani (Riccardo Scamarcio) through the streets and bars of war-torn Paris in 1916. On the run from the police, his desire to leave the city is dismissed by lover, poet & critic Beatrice Hastings (Antonia Desplat) and fellow artists Maurice Utrillo (Bruno Gouery) and Chaim Soutine (Ryan McParland). Seeking advice from his art dealer and friend, Leopold Zborowski (Stephen Graham) the chaos in Modi's mind reaches a crescendo when faced with collector Maurice Gangnat (Al Pacino), who has the power to change his life.
