Overview

• Modi: Three Days on the Wing of Madness marks Depp’s first directorial effort in over 20 years, depicting a pivotal 72-hour period in Amedeo Modigliani’s 1916 Paris.
• The film premiered at The Curzon Mayfair on July 8 and is slated for U.K. cinemas on July 11, while American distributors have yet to confirm a release schedule.
• Early reviews are predominantly negative, with a Metacritic score of 29/100 and Collider deeming it a “plodding, pretentious mess.”
• Riccardo Scamarcio leads as Modigliani alongside Al Pacino, Stephen Graham and Antonia Desplat, and Scamarcio praised Depp’s “trust and love” as a director.
• Backed by IN.2 Film and driven by Depp’s post-trial career revival, the biopic underlines his shift toward European projects as commercial prospects remain uncertain.
