...companions are his fellow painters and fellow flops-as the 1916 taste makers viewed them-Maurice Utrillo and Chaim Soutine. Utrillo (Ethan Phillips) is in thrall to two false gods, alcohol and his mother. Soutine (George Gerdes) is a color addict equally intoxicated by the stains on a butcher's apron and the veins of a plucked chicken. Led by Modigliani (Jeffrey de Munn), these Three Musketeers of the Night smash up cheap restaurants, cadge drinks, slash their canvases in frustrated rage and collapse in wild laughter at their own absurdity...
