Description

In 1964, while on a short trip to Paris, the American writer and art-lover James Lord (Armie Hammer) is asked by his friend, the world-renowned artist Alberto Giacometti (Geoffrey Rush), to sit for a portrait. The process, Giacometti assures Lord, will take only a few days. Flattered and intrigued, Lord agrees. Directed by Stanley Tucci. Review **** – A mature and wise drama about the cost and benefits of creativity. Tucci should spend more time behind the camera –Empire **** – Stanley Tucci has created a very amusing, astringent chamber piece of a movie, performed with sympathy and wit by Geoffrey Rush and Armie Hammer –The Guardian ****- A delightful, nimble miniature, as thought-provoking in the long term as it is wryly entertaining in the moment. –Daily Telegraph
