Modigliani is a 2004 drama biographical film written and directed by Mick Davis and starring Andy García, Elsa Zylberstein, Omid Djalili, Hippolyte Girardot, Eva Herzigova and Udo Kier.

Modigliani, an Italian Jew from Livorno, has fallen in love with Jeanne Hébuterne, a young and beautiful French Catholic girl.

Once completed, he calls his agent and dearest friend, Léopold Zborowski, personally to take the painting to the competition and to make sure no one touches it.

City Hall closes before he is called, but he manages to persuade the woman clerk who is shooing him out to have mercy and give him the license anyway because he has a beautiful daughter and another on the way—and because he is an artist, as is she!

His painting of Jeanne in a blue dress he had stolen from a shop window wins the competition, beating even Picasso's cubist portrait entitled Modigliani.

Al Pacino and 20th Century Studios received the screenplay not long thereafter and were happy with it but suggested Davis combine the new version of the script with the early one.

In 2005, it opened in Dutch, Italian, Romanian, Swedish, Danish and Norwegian theatres—and on DVD in Thailand, Hong Kong, Brazil, Canada and Finland.

In 2006 it opened in theatres in Poland, Portugal and Spain; on Argentine TV; and on DVD in Australia, The Czech Republic and New Zealand.

The website's critics consensus reads, "Nearly everyone is miscast in this disjointed and slow-moving portrait of Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani.
