The Best Offer (Template:Lang-it) is a 2013 romantic drama film written and directed by Italian film director Giuseppe Tornatore. The film stars Geoffrey Rush, Jim Sturgess and Donald Sutherland, while the music score is composed by Ennio Morricone.
Plot
The film tells an unusual love story set in Europe (Trieste, Bolzano, Fidenza, Rome, Milan, Merano, Vienna, Prague) in the world of high-end art auctions and antiques. The story revolves around an elderly, and somewhat eccentric, managing director of an auction house Virgil Oldman (Geoffrey Rush) who intersects with a mysterious young heiress Claire Ibbetson (Sylvia Hoeks) whose parents have died and left a sizable collection of art and antiques and an astute young artificer Robert (Jim Sturgess) who aids Virgil in deciphering some odd items found amongst Claire's inheritance. Virgil's poise and prestige is tempered by an ongoing scam where his friend Billy Whistler (Donald Sutherland) aids him in building a secret private collection of master paintings.

Filming took place in a period of five to six weeks in the region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Vienna and South Tyrol.
