Johnny Depp brings the chaotic life of an artist to the screen.
Starring Riccardo Scamarcio and Al Pacino Modi: Three days on the wing of madnessdirected by Depp, based on Dennis McIntyre’s play about the Italian painter Amede Modigliani. Scamarcio, 44, is the titular artist, while Pacino, 84, plays art collector Maurice Gangnat.
The recently released trailer immerses viewers in Paris in 1916, when the art world was at a turning point.

“Going on this cinematic journey as a director Fashion has been an incredibly fulfilling and transformative experience,” Depp, 61, previously said in a statement in January. “I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the entire cast, crew and producers for their unwavering commitment and creativity.”
Referring to longtime friend Pacino, he added: “Alu, who asked me to do this movie — how could I turn Pacino down? Sincere recognition for generously contributing your talent and dedication to this project.”
Speaking with PEOPLE about their collaboration, Pacino called Pirates of the Caribbean star “very creative and fun to work with… He’d just say, ‘Here we go. A couple of small children.’ He is wild. He’s wonderful.”

During a San Sebastian Film Festival press conference on September 24, Depp alluded to his defamation trial with ex-wife Amber Heard by explaining his personal connection to Modigliani.
