As usual, Geoffrey Rush does a magnificent job portraying Alberto Giacometti. It’s a very intriguing character study better suited for a theatre than a film, in my opinion.
I hated its camera work, shaky handheld frames always make me sick. It’s really a shame because I liked a washed out colour scheme of the film a lot. Very effective.
The production design was brilliant, especially the artist’s studio. You can almost smell cigarette smoke and turpentine. And feel the dust on the floor.
I had read some books on this sculptor but I didn’t know this story. So, it was great to see the film. As you know, you can’t go wrong with Geoffrey Rush. I don’t think I would have enjoyed the film as much as I did if he hadn’t been in it.
