Brief synopsis

Amedeo Modigliani was the handsome, romantic Italian among the painters who occupied the artist quarters of Paris at the beginning of the last century. His portraits and paintings of nude women rank among the most frequently printed pictures of modernity. What is their special magic? The British art critic John Berger believes that the nude paintings are essentially all about being in love. They illustrate how love itself captures and conveys its own image of the lover.
The documentary follows Berger’s thoughts and explores the secret of Modigliani’s art. The nude women are thereby the centre of attention. What makes them icons of art history? Why does the onlooker feel instinctively close to the portrayed woman? Why does her nudity have the effect of intimacy and tenderness, but never of vulgarity?
