Johnny Depp's 'Modi' Premieres to Frenzied Reception at San Sebastian

Depp's biopic of artist Amedeo Modigliani marks his return to directing after a long hiatus, drawing parallels to his own tumultuous career.

Johnny Depp's 'Modi: Three Days on the Wing of Madness' premiered at the San Sebastian Film Festival to an enthusiastic audience.
The film is Depp's first directorial effort since his 1997 film 'The Brave' and comes after his highly publicized defamation lawsuit against Amber Heard.
Depp portrays Modigliani's turbulent life over 72 hours in 1916 Paris, focusing on his struggles with art, commerce, and personal demons.
Al Pacino, who was initially set to direct, plays a key role as art collector Maurice Gangnat, adding star power to the film.
While the film has received mixed reviews, with some critics finding it conventional, it has been praised for its performances and period detail.
