1615 final portrait

Final Portrait

How high do you set the bar? In the case of Alberto Giacometti, so high that his sculptures and paintings never lived up to the ideal images in his head and he felt compelled to constantly start over and destroy “failed” artworks.

Stanley Tucci has not set the bar very high in his portrait of the Swiss artist. That is understandable: many films about artists lose themselves in adoration and romanticizing. It is not that Final Portrait doesn’t suffer from these problems at all, but Tucci manages to keep the mood light.
