Synopsis
Amedeo Modigliani’s portraits of women, especially his female nudes, are among the most reproduced works of modern art. The film explores the continuing appeal of these nude paintings by looking closely at the works themselves: the brush strokes, the colours, the surfaces. British art critic John Berger was convinced that the paintings show the very act of being in love.
The documentary follows Berger’s thoughts and explores the magic and vividness of Modigliani’s iconic paintings.
