Final Portrait
(Drama, Biography)I
n 1964, the American
biographer James Lord
(Armie Hammer) travelled
to Paris to meet with Alberto
Giacometti, the famous Swiss
artist and sculptor, to do a
series of interviews for the
biography that he was writing
of the artist’s life. In Final
Portrait film-maker Stanley
Tucci captures the weeks and
months that followed.
During the initial interview,
Giacometti (Geoffrey Rush)
asks Lord if he will sit for
a portrait because he has
such an interesting face.
Lord, who is flattered by
the request, agrees.
What is meant to take just a
few days turns into weeks, and
Lord belatedly realises that
he has signed on as captive
audience as well as subject.
As the portrait ebbs and
flows, an offbeat friendship is
born. The film shines a light on
whether the gift of genius is
a blessing or a curse.Pitch Perfect 3
