Biography

In 1964, while on a short trip to Paris, the American writer and art-lover James Lord (Armie Hammer) is asked by his friend, the world-renowned artist Alberto Giacometti (Geoffrey Rush), to sit for a portrait. The process, Giacometti assures Lord, will take only a few days. Flattered and intrigued, Lord agrees. So begins not only the story of an offbeat friendship, but, seen through the eyes of Lord, an insight into the beauty, frustration, profundity and, at times, downright chaos of the artistic process. FINAL PORTRAIT is a portrait of a genius, and of a friendship between two men who are utterly different, yet increasingly bonded through a single, ever-evolving act of creativity. It is a film which shines a light on the artistic process itself, by turns exhilarating, exasperating and bewildering, questioning whether the gift of a great artist is a blessing or a curse.

The plot of the movie “I,Tonya” is given through interviews with direct or indirect participants in the events, and none of them can be considered reliable or at least a reliable source. Heroes one by one comment on what is happening and share their feelings and experiences. The story develops evenly, but at the same time it can surprise an unexpectedly rigid approach to biography. Tonya Harding became famous in many respects not because of her success on the ice, but because of the unpleasant incident that happened outside the ice rink. On the eve of the competition in 1994, the main rival Tony Harding was attacked, which, as it turned out, was planned by Tony’s ex-husband.
