The film is written and directed by Tucci and stars Geoffrey Rush, Armie Hammer, Clémence Poésy, Tony Shalhoub, James Faulkner and Sylvie Testud.

Lurie who is best known as a founding member of the band The Lounge Lizards has previously scored Tucci’s directorial efforts, Joe Gould’s Secret and Blind Date. His other film scoring credits include Lonesome Jim and Jack Goes Boating. Final Portrait will premiere later this month at the Berlin Film Festival.
