Modì marks the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory cast alum’s second time in the director’s chair since his 1997 directorial debut, The Brave, in which he starred alongside Marlon Brando in one of his final performances.

Based on the post he’s incredibly proud of the work he and his team did, and you can see his expression of joy in the post below:

Set to dive into the tumultuous life of Italian painter Amedeo Modigliani, Modì unfolds over a crucial 48-hour period set against the backdrop of war-torn Paris in 1916.

Drawing inspiration from Dennis McIntyre’s 1980 play, Modigliani: A Play in Three Acts, the film encapsulates the essence of the artist’s journey, capturing the intensity of his experiences during a pivotal moment in history.
