i agree with the comment about the lack of truth in this movie and regard the fact in the life of modigliani . i would like to comment on the casting of picasso . some viewer be impress with the actor while obviously they know nothing about picasso and haven not see his picture . when i first saw the picasso in this film i be so shocked and disgust i want to quit and not watch it any more . ( may be it be a good idea i would have save an hour or so ) . picasso be nothing like this physically he be athletic and robust and virile and ooze sexual power . he be spaniard . nothing like the greasy and obese and fat nosed actor in the movie who look more like an age middle easterner with dyed hair ( well and he be actually from iran ) . to sum it up regard not only the casting of picasso but the whole story this be a very bad film and make by people who not only have no idea about the artist concerned and but they even have no interest to research the period and the place and the art scene . their only concern be to make some easy dollar for the simple fact that most people have no information about modigliani and his life and friend and and will take everything in the movie for a fact . this be one of the bad film i have ever see in my life and this be for sure . picasso and modigliani be spin in their graf when this pretentious insult to their memory be make .
