i really love modigliani work and so i be excite to see this movie . unfortunately and it turn out to be disappointing . while andy garcia be a good actor and he an unconvincing modigliani he look much too clean and well fed and robust for ( most ) of the film . the music be bland and terrible and out of place instead of heighten the experience and it transform most scene into cheesy and sentimental and and trite . the end be far too draw out and and it only make the movie more clichéd and sentimental . jeanne talk about her intense love for modigliani at the beginning and end of the film and but we really hardly even get to see that her character be flat . consequently and these dramatic scene of her love for him come off a contrive and ineffective . another thing i do not like be the way the character speak . a a reviewer mention before and they switch from different language and accent at the drop of a hat . which be weird . from american english to european accent to european language . it be annoy . but and i like elsa zylberstein a jeanne . she look just like a modigliani painting . a good scene be the one where modigliani and picasso visit renoir and a be the scene at picasso exhibition where one of modigliani painting be show . but and overall and i feel that the movie be try way too hard to be dramatic and artsy and and decadent and it really do not accomplish any of it . i think it be a rather contrive and emotionless effort that do not do much justice to the artist .
