THE BEST OFFER is directed and written by Giuseppe Tornatore
and produced by Isabella Cocuzza and Arturo Paglia. From the moment of seeing
the main character with his uptight and peculiar way I knew throughout this
film the story needed to push him to become something else or something new.
The pace of the film accentuated this metamorphosis gradually moving at a pace
that forced the character to adapt rapidly or fail at gaining what he deeply
wanted, which was the love of a woman to share his greatest possessions. BEST
OFFER was shot in a very straightforward way with limited creative flurries in
camera movement allowing all attention to be on the main characters fight to
uncover the truth. So for BEST OFFER I give it 3 stars as it entertained me yet
disappointed me with an ambiguous and sad ending for a character with so much
potential.
