The Best Offer

The Best Offer (La migliore offerta, 2013) is a crime drama by Giuseppe Tornatore that you can watch online on iFILM. Geoffrey Rush leads, the score is by Ennio Morricone. It's the story of an ageing auctioneer who has spent his whole life hiding from people behind glass cases.

Virgil Oldman values antiques better than anyone alive and can't stand being touched: he eats in gloves, lives alone, and keeps a secret room walled with female portraits he rigged the bidding to obtain. Then a recluse named Claire hires him to sell her family's art. She never shows her face, speaking only from behind a wall. Virgil starts unpicking her oddities while piecing together an old mechanical automaton, cog by cog. And for the first time, he falls in love.

The director of Cinema Paradiso made a film about obsession and trust, where every small detail turns out to be a move in someone else's game. The cast also features Donald Sutherland, Jim Sturgess and Sylvia Hoeks. 131 minutes that will send you back to rewatch the ending. Stream The Best Offer (2013) online on iFILM.
