"Weirdly mesmerizing ... offers an acting showcase to Geoffrey Rush."- Moira MacDonald, SEATTLE TIMES
From the director of Cinema Paradiso comes a romantic thriller with a playful side that proves love is worth bidding on at any price. When a mysterious heiress asks famed but unscrupulous art appraiser and auctioneer Virgil Oldman (Academy Award winner Geoffrey Rush, The Book Thief, The King's Speech) to evaluate her late parents' collection yet remains forever unseen behind closed doors, it ignites a spark of curiosity in the normally austere Virgil that soon grows into an all-out obsession. Before long everything in Virgil's carefully constructed life threatens to come apart as he delves ever further into the world of intrigue surrounding his enigmatic employer. Co-starring Donald Sutherland (The Hunger Games, Invasion of the Body Snatchers), Jim Sturgess (Cloud Atlas, Across the Universe) and Sylvia Hoeks (The Girl and Death), director Giuseppe Tornatore's THE BEST OFFER is a unique take on a seemingly doomed romance from one of cinema's greatest artists. Jay Weissberg of Variety called the IFC Films theatrical releast "Hitchcockian - an art-world thriller with shades of Hugo," while The Hollywood Reporter's Deborah Young said, "Geoffrey Rush brings striking depth of character to a classic Old World mystery set against the sophisticated backdrop of Europe's art auctions, with charming input from Jim Sturgess and Donald Sutherland."
