Jeffrey Rosh exquisitely interprets Einstein’s wisdom and wildness in "Genius", but in the film that captured the master sculptor Giacometti’s "Last Portrait", Jeffrey Rosh’s eyes , But it is difficult for us to feel the throbbing that fits the window of the master’s soul.
"The Last Portrait" is a new work by Stanley Tucci (Stanley Tucci). His most impressive works in recent years appear as actors, such as the role of fashion director in "The Devil Wearing Prada", and The dazzling game host in the "Hunger Games" series. He has directed and acted in several movies, such as "Banquet" and "Joe Gould's Secret".
Stanley Tucci, who seems to have a unique hobby of madmen and geniuses, is also said to be enamored with the sculptor Alberto Giacometti. "The Last Portrait" is a completely true story, adapted from the American writer James Lord (James Lord). The book "Unfinished Portraits: A Giacometti Portrait in Giacometti's Paris Studio" published by Lord, describes how Lord Giacometti worked as a model for Giacometti portrait painting in France for 18 days in 1964, and how to watch Giacometti for the first time. Exploring and revising the creation, including his moods from satisfaction, frustration to doubt, plus the profile of Giacometti and his family, lover, lover, and life around him. This kind of subject matter is very visible and little gossip-like peeping. In obtaining the shooting rights, Stanley Tucci spent several communications and several years of fundraising, which was quite expensive in the preliminary preparations. It took a lot of effort to make this film a smooth start. The structure of the
movie is basically faithful to the original ingenuity of Lord Books. Taking the master’s paintings as a guide, a paragraph of the creative process of making portraits for Lorde, in fact, describes what Giacometti is like, his life, his studio, his weird temper, how he understands art and how he chooses Performance etc.
"The Last Portrait" is like capturing the portrait of Giacometti belonging to Stanley Tucci on a white canvas. It is also a depiction of the last few years of Giacometti’s life, so the original title of Final Portrait seems to be On the one hand, it refers to Giacometti's painting of portraits for Lord, and also points out that this painting process is also from Lord's perspective, and it can be regarded as the painter Giacometti himself, painting/writing for each other.
However, under the large structure of "The Last Portrait", the delicacy of Giacometti is unfortunately insufficient. Every link and aspect is mostly a little bit of water, and all parts of the master's level have some edges, so as to make the audience feel the French style and interest. No.’s creative thoughts, bedtime habits, outlook on money, wife, and lover are all taken into account. I said it again, but they are not deep. There is a sense of not watching the doorway but watching the excitement. The final ending is also a bit regretful, but rather hastily, leaving no room for aftertaste and imagination.
actor Amy Hammer’s overwhelmed and stiff, occasionally active and passive posture in the film fits the film situation, and the audience can smoothly resonate with Amy Hammer’s Lord role and accompany him. , From his perspective, lead us to get to know Giacometti. However, Geoffrey Roche’s Giacometti was not as good as Einstein’s later "Genius". Although Geoffrey Roche had a face that resembled Giacometti, he felt it at the moment of his expression and eyes. Some kind of established genius/madman model, without Jeffrey Rosh’s unique interpretation of Giacometti.
Stanley Tuzi’s "The Last Portrait" has a fun to watch lively, and outlines a kind of Giacometti's surface. Although it does not have too much profound artistic conception, it is regarded as the person who came into contact with Giacometti. It gives the audience an interesting glimpse of the master.
