In 1964, American art critic James Lord (Armie Hammer) gets uncomfortably close to artist Alberto Giacometti (Geoffrey Rush) when the master paints his portrait. What starts as a simple endeavor stretches out over two weeks, during which an aggrieved Lord grows to appreciate the cantankerous Giacometti's eccentricities, chaotic lifestyle, and unparalleled genius. Written and directed by Stanley Tucci.
