The Best Offer (2013)
Written and directed
by Giuseppe Tornatore this film stars Geoffrey Rush, Jim Sturgess,
Cylvia Hokes and Donald Sutherland. An eccentric auctioneer of high
class art that is a little corrupt on the side ends up helping an
agoraphobic young woman sell her deceased parents antiques.
This is one of those
films where it his moments of real excellence but is brought down by
an ultimately average plot. The protagonist is the only one who can't
see the clichéd plot coming a mile off which is a real shame as
there are some interesting elements here. As much as I enjoyed the
direction and elements of the romance plot the central confidence
trick weakens the whole film.
3/5
