Johnny Depp-Directed Movie ‘Modi’ to Premiere at San Sebastian Film Festival

As a seasoned gamer of the Hollywood scene, I must admit that I find myself both intrigued and perplexed by the career of Johnny Depp. With his latest directorial venture, “Modi – Three Days on the Wing of Madness,” premiering at the 72nd San Sebastian Film Festival, it seems that the enigmatic actor continues to push boundaries and challenge expectations.


Johnny Depp’s second directorial film, titled “Modi – Three Days in the Realm of Insanity“, is set to debut outside of competition at the 72nd San Sebastian International Film Festival.

On Tuesday, the film festival unveiled updates to its schedule, featuring Johnny Depp’s movie as a biographical film about the renowned Italian artist, Amedeo Modigliani.

Initially stepping into filmmaking after being a contentious personality in the entertainment industry due to his high-profile divorce from actress Amber Heard, this actor first appeared as a director in 1997 with the movie titled The Brave.

In 2021’s San Sebastian Film Festival, he was bestowed with the distinguished Donostia Award as a recognition of his career-long accomplishments.

As a gamer, here’s my take:

The adventure continues with Light!, as stated by Thierry Frémaux, has been added to the Special Screenings lineup. Furthermore, Bagger Drama, the sophomore effort by Piet Baumgartner, and My Eternal Summer, a debut from Sylvia Le Fanu, have been included in the New Directors section of the festival.

As a film enthusiast who has always been inspired by the captivating performances of Cate Blanchett, I am thrilled to learn that San Sebastian has chosen her as this year’s recipient of the Donostia Award. Throughout my years of watching films and observing the industry, I have come to appreciate the depth and versatility that she brings to every role she takes on. Her ability to portray complex characters with such conviction and grace is truly a testament to her talent as an actress. Receiving this prestigious award in her hometown of San Sebastian will undoubtedly be a proud moment not only for Cate Blanchett, but also for the countless fans who have admired her work over the years. I eagerly look forward to seeing her accept the Donostia Award and celebrate her extraordinary career in cinema.

As a cinephile who’s always eager to discover fresh and thought-provoking stories, I can hardly contain my excitement for this year’s San Sebastian Film Festival! With the upcoming releases from directors like Mike Leigh, François Ozon, Edward Berger, Joshua Oppenheimer, and Costa-Gavras, it promises to be a truly unforgettable experience. Having attended numerous film festivals in the past, I know that this event is not to be missed for anyone who appreciates the art of cinema. From September 20th through the 28th, I’ll be there, immersing myself in the vibrant atmosphere and enjoying the best films from around the world. Can’t wait!
