Final Portrait

Stanley Tucci's meandering-paced, arty, quirky, well-acted, insightful, star-studded (Tony Shalhoub and James Faulkner), 90-minute, 2017 film adapted from James Lord's memoir in which a handsome American writer and art lover (Armie Hammer) from New York spends 18 frustrating and enlightening days in Paris sitting for a portrait for a perfectionist friend and world-renowned Swiss painter and sculptor Alberto Giacometti (Geoffrey Rush), who cheats on his wife (Sylvie Testud) with a model muse (Clémence Poésy), in 1964 while he continually starts the painting over.
