Stanley Tucci discusses his new film Final Portrait, which he wrote and directed. It tells the story of the American writer and art-lover James Lord (Armie Hammer) and his friend, the world-renowned artist Alberto Giacometti (Geoffrey Rush). In 1964, while on a short trip to Paris, Giacometti asks Lord to sit for a portrait, which sparks a unique friendship and illuminates the intricacies of an artistic process. The film opens on March 23 at Cinemas 1, 2 & 3  and The Angelika Film Center.
