WHAT’S IT ABOUT?
In 1964, American writer and art-lover James Lord (Hammer) takes a short trip to Paris where he is asked by his friend, world-renowned artist Alberto Giacometti (Rush) to sit for a portrait. James agrees when he is promised it will only take a few days – which turns out to be quite a bit longer, thanks to Giacometti’s fierce perfectionism…
IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?
