giacometti himself played by geoffrey rush and the film directed by stanley tucci., but this time its extreme weather as we follow al gore and a series of flip chart presentations around the sadly necessary an inconvenient sequel, a follow—up to his oscar—winning an inconvenient truth. and in the hitman‘s bodyguard, the bodyguard played by ryan reynolds meets a hit man played by samuel ljackson and it's love at first sight. well, not really. let's start with final portrait. i'm a massive stanley tucci fan as an actor. i know he's directed a few films before. i must confess i don't think i've seen any of them looking at the list. how does this work—out? there was a one called big night where he played a restaurant owner with his brother played by tony shalhoub. stanley tucci doesn't pop up in this film, although tony shalhoub, who played his brother, does, again

but we also get a lot of the kind of scrape of the art, the stuff, the very great atelier where giacometti work is beautifully captured by danny cohen, who is the same cameraman that they had in the king's speech, which captured rush in a different form there. this bit is very well done. but the film takes a lot of life from the sort of cafe paris kind of stuff, distorted stuff that stanley tucci relishes in. the cafe scenes where they kind of drink wine and eggs, hard—boiled eggs, and they kind of meat prostitutes and kind of swirl around. it's that part, that romantic image of the artist that you want from a film about an artist in paris. so we get that struggle but you also get the flamboyance and the indulgence and romanticism with which stanley tucci treats it. it is very much a stanley tucci film, although you would have thought stanley tucci would have said i want to play that part, he's very much there. it's a character actor's directing because he's very indulgent towards the acting and let's all the kind of funny bits stay in there. it's a serious subject but it's very elegantly
