Summary:
Focuses on Modigliani's life in Paris, where his single one-man exhibition in 1917 resulted in five of his paintings being removed from the gallery by an outraged police chief. Interviews with his daughter Jeanne, the sculptor Chana Orloff, and other contemporaries such as Blaise Cendrars, and Jean Cocteau reveal insights into the painter's short, tragic life.
