Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.236.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:21, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

'''''Modigliani''''' is a 2004 [[drama film|drama]] [[biographical film]] written and directed by [[Mick Davis (director)|Mick Davis]] and starring [[Andy García]], [[Elsa Zylberstein]], [[Omid Djalili]], [[Hippolyte Girardot]], [[Eva Herzigova]] and [[Udo Kier]]. It is based on the life of the Italian artist [[Amedeo Modigliani]].

== Plot ==
Set in Paris in 1919, this biopic presents the life of Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani, centering, artistically, on his relationship to and rivalry with [[Pablo Picasso]] when they both lived in Paris. Modigliani, an [[Italian Jews|Italian Jew]] from [[Livorno]], has fallen in love with [[Jeanne Hébuterne]], a young and beautiful French [[Catholic]] girl. The couple have a child, and Jeanne's bigoted father sends the baby to a faraway convent to be raised by nuns. Modigliani is distraught but needs money to rescue and raise his child. Paris' annual art competition is in the offing. Prize money and a guaranteed career await the winner.

Neither Modigliani nor his rival Picasso have ever entered the competition, believing that it is beneath true artists like themselves. But push comes to shove with the welfare of his child on the line, and the impoverished Modigliani signs up for the competition in a drunken and drug-induced act at the center of a café frequented by artists, including Picasso, who is, by Modigliani signing the roster for the competition, himself induced to sign.

All of Paris is aflutter with excitement at who will win. Modigliani tackles the work of his entry with the hopes of creating a masterpiece, and knows that all the artists of Paris are doing the same. Once completed, he calls his agent and dearest friend, Léopold Zborowski, personally to take the painting to the competition and to make sure no one touches it. While his friend is taking the painting, Modigliani is at City Hall waiting to finally obtain a marriage license. City Hall closes before he is called, but he manages to persuade the woman clerk who is shooing him out to have mercy and give him the license anyway because he has a beautiful daughter and another on the way—and because he is an artist, as is she!  As the last person to leave, he decides to celebrate with one drink. Unfortunately his addiction, and his nervousness about the competition, make him drink many more.

The competition was going to start at eight o'clock, and when he realizes he is very late he finally rushes out, without paying.  While drinking, he had been asked whether he had the money to pay, and he had answered that he had 5,000 francs (the prize money) and could buy everyone in the café a drink.  Two guys that were in the bar follow him and assault and severely beat him, under the assumption that he has a lot of money.  Once they find that he has no money they leave him in the snow, bloody and more than half dead.

His painting of Jeanne in a blue dress he had stolen from a shop window wins the competition, beating even Picasso's cubist portrait entitled ''Modigliani''. Unaware of this victory, he somehow manages to make it home, where Jeanne washes the blood from his face.  But then his artist friends come, realize that he needs to be in a hospital, and take him there over Jeanne's protests. He dies in hospital.  Jeanne commits suicide by falling from a window.  They are buried together, along with the unborn child.

==Production==
Mick Davis wrote the film's script in the 1990s and sent it to [[Martin Scorsese]]. "Scorsese told me it's one of the best screenplays he's ever read and could turn into either a movie or a theatre performance", said Davis in an interview in 2014. [[Al Pacino]] and [[20th Century Studios]] received the screenplay not long thereafter and were happy with it but suggested Davis combine the new version of the script with the early one. Pacino was considered to be the director at this point, with [[Johnny Depp]] playing the leading role of Modigliani. Davis, who was not satisfied with the idea of combining the two versions of the script, decided to make his version of the film.<ref>((Cite web |date=2023-05-15 |title=The Strange Story Behind the Modigliani Movie (and Al Pacino's Doomed Attempt to Get it Made) |url=https://www.esquire.com/uk/culture/a29955277/scorsese-al-pacino-modigliani-story/ |access-date=2023-10-02 |website=Esquire |language=en-GB))</ref>

== Reception ==
===Critical response ===
The film was not well received by critics. On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 4% based on reviews from 24 critics. The website's critics consensus reads, "Nearly everyone is miscast in this disjointed and slow-moving portrait of Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani."<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/modigliani/|title = Modigliani|website = [[Rotten Tomatoes]]))</ref> On [[Metacritic]] the film has a score of 25% based on reviews from 10 critics.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.metacritic.com/movie/modigliani|title = Modigliani|website = [[Metacritic]]))</ref>

''[[New York Times]]'' critic [[Stephen Holden]] wrote, "The best and maybe the only use to be made of the catastrophic screen biography ''Modigliani'' is to serve as a textbook outline of how not to film the life of a legendary artist."<ref>((Cite web | last = Holden | first = Stephen | title = Piling on the Paint With a Trowel in Paris, or Romania | newspaper = [[New York Times]] | date = 1 July 2005 | url =  http://movies2.nytimes.com/2005/07/01/movies/01modi.html?ex=1181448000&en=4ef2040ab84229e0&ei=5070 ))</ref>

=== Awards ===
Modigliani was nominated for two [[International Press Academy]] Golden Satellite Awards: to Pam Downe for [[Costume Design]] and Luigi Marchione and Vlad Vieru for [[Art Direction]] and [[Production Design]].

==Historical errors==
The film contains many inaccuracies or omissions, including:

* The scene with the foreclosure (due to bankruptcy) with the furniture piled on the mother's bed, happened during Amedeo's birth (he was the last-born child).
* Modigliani met Jeanne in 1917, not in 1919.
* The alleged rivalry between him and Picasso has never been firmly proven.
* The only real painting that appears in the final competition is [[Chaïm Soutine|Soutine]]'s ''Piece de Boeuf'', realized later, in 1923; all the other works are fictional.
* Modigliani was great friends not only with [[Maurice Utrillo|Utrillo]] but also with [[Chaïm Soutine|Soutine]], [[Diego Rivera|Rivera]], [[Moise Kisling|Kisling]], [[Tsuguharu Foujita|Foujita]], [[Constantin Brâncuși|Brâncuși]], [[Marc Chagall|Chagall]], and [[Amadeo de Souza Cardoso|Souza Cardoso]].
* Modigliani was also a sculptor.
* [[Leopold Zborowski]] was not only an art dealer but also a poet and writer.
* Modigliani and Jeanne dance in the streets to the notes of ''[[La vie en rose]]'' by [[Edith Piaf]] but the song was written in 1945.
* Modigliani met [[Pierre-Auguste Renoir|Renoir]] around 1918, without the help of Picasso.
* At the time Picasso was not a well established painter.
* Modigliani died of [[meningitis]] not of [[tuberculosis]] (which he also suffered from), nor was he beaten up in the streets.
