Title: Images from the mirror!
Review: When a wealthy (and very lonely human being) man receives a curious invitation, he will get into a spiral of mystery and suspense.A wonderful script, a well expected game of cat and mouse, an enigma to be solved, in which the feelings will undermine his rational mind. Giussepe Tornatore is back again with this marvelous script, loaded of mirrors and distorted visions in which nothing is like it seems.One of the best productions of the year. No doubt and go for it!!!

Title: Superb, antique/suspense lovers will find this very special
Review: I enjoyed this movie so much I recommend it to not only antique/collectible/art lovers, but also those seeking a unusual well acted film. Visually rich with some questions still unanswered at the end.

Title: `Emotions are like work of art. They can be forged they seem just like the original but they are forgery.'
Review: Writer/director Giuseppe Tornatore is highly respected for his films Cinema Paradiso, The Legend of 1900, Malèna, Everybody's Fine, and here he opens a new realm to test his prowess - a story that is so well crafted that even after the film is over the resolution is not entirely clear: he respects his audience too much to make things completely tidy. It is rich in art, music, atmosphere, the underpinnings of the art auction world, phobias and more.Master auctioneer Virgil Oldman (Geoffrey Rush in a magnificent performance), owner of a vast accumulation of famous paintings of women he hides in a locked room, becomes obsessed with an extremely reclusive heiress Claire (the stunningly beautiful Dutch actress Sylvia Hoeks) who collects fine art and is living in a boarded up mansion left to her my her deceased parents. Claire suffers from agoraphobia (fear of strange places) which keeps her confined to her home: her only servant is Lambert (Dermot Crowley) who has never seen her. She refuses to be seen but hires Oldman to perform a valuation of her antiques and paintings and only speaks to him behind closed doors. Oldman has his own phobias: he has a huge selection of gloves he wears at all times, afraid of touching anything without their protection. Oldman also has a scheme with one Billy Whistler (Donald Sutherland) who attends Oldman's auctions and bids on art in a fashion that allows the two to keep the money private. Oldman also employs a young tinker Robert (Jim Sturgess) and feeds him pieces of mechanical findings from Claire's home: Robert is convinced the pieces when assembled will be an ancient android long lost to history books. Gradually Oldman spies on Claire, falls in love with her despite the enormous difference in their ages, and plans to change his life, and just when it seems their lives will change, the film takes a surprise turn which spins a spell with the audience and cannot be revealed in a review. Nothing is as it seems - so much of life is a forgery.Tornatore is an inordinately sensitive writer and director and has graced this gorgeous film with a musical score (mostly women's voices) by Ennio Morricone. The cast is uniformly brilliant and it is very difficult to understand why this film has not raised a strong following. It is cerebral, intensely romantic, and fascinating on every level. Highly Recommended. Grady Harp, January 14

Title: (3.5 STARS) See for Geoffrey Rush's Excellent Performance
Review: The âCinema Paradisoâ director Giuseppe Tornatoreâs latest work is part thriller and part character study. To anyone who knows the conventions of thriller âThe Best Offerâ (âLa migliore offertaâ) falls short of classic status, being too lengthy (especially in the second half) and even predictable, but the star Geoffrey Rushâs authentic performance as Virgil Oldman makes up for that.Set in an unnamed city (probably somewhere in Europe), Virgil Oldman, an able but arrogant auctioneer, receives a phone call from a mysterious client, a young woman who refuses to show up before him. At first Virgil refuses to take her seriously, but later he is drawn to the mysteries surrounding the dilapidated villa she lives in, and the woman herself, too.The contrived story cannot bear close scrutiny, and the relationship between Virgil and the young woman is not entirely convincing, but Geoffrey Rushâs brilliant acting is something else, always credible and riveting. Jim Sturgess and Donald Sutherland lend solid support, and Ennio Morriconeâs music and Fabio Zamarionâs cinematography is also a plus.After all, this is a story about Virgil Oldman and his life, played expertly by Geoffrey Rush. See for his great performance.

Title: interesting
Review: A spinster auctioneer falls in love with an agoraphobe, which is interesting, at times riveting. Then the story is explained away and trivialized. It was all just a con job, with--that's right--a femme fatale as bait. But that too is worth watching, as it is an interesting failure. You wonder how and why intelligent film people could allow a wonderful set-up to be ruined by the most hackneyed plot device in cinema. Why didn't they let the agoraphobe be real and focus on a truly novel idea, instead of opting for the predictable? Why did they bring the plot crashing to earth with a clunky twist, and then load the film with heavy-handed ironies about deception and forgery, when the real thing would have been twenty times more engaging?

Review: De passage en Australie, un ami, humaniste distingué et docteur en paléontologie, m'avait recommandé ce film (joué par J.RUSH, excellent acteur australien). J'ai eu l'occasion de le voir dans l'avion qui me ramenanit en Nouvelle Zélande, dans la version anglaise "The best offer", et j'en ai été subjugué. Je souhaiterais en avoir une version sur DVD en français, mais ne sais s'il en existe...

Review: Acquisto imprescindibile per la mia videoteca personale dopo averlo visto in televisione. Ahimè lâho scoperto solo oggi nonostante sia un fan del maestro Tornatore. Mi ha colpito così tanto la trama, la fotografia e il fascino dei protagonisti che lâavrei rivisto subito dopo la fine del passaggio televisivo. Adesso potrò rivederlo tutte le volte che lo vorrò, scoprendo sempre qualche piccolo particolare che il regista siciliano ha sapientemente disseminato nella trama. Neanche a dirlo che la colonna sonora del compianto maestro Morricone è la ciliegina sulla torta di un film che difficilmente si dimentica dopo averlo visto. Nota speciale per il premio Oscar Geoffrey Rush, impeccabile e ammaliante nella parte dellâantiquario e banditore dâaste, Virgil Oldman. Costo irrisorio per la la qualità del film.
