Set against the backdrop of Italy's contemporary treacherous art world, popular actor/writer/director Sergio Rubini’s (‘La terra’) high-budget box-office success ‘At a Glance’ is a game of cat and mouse between a powerful art critic and the young sculptor who steals his girlfriend.
When art critic Pietro Lulli (Rubini) brings his significantly younger companion Gloria (a luminously beautiful Vittoria Puccini) to an exhibition, he doesn’t realise that her admiration of the work by struggling sculptor Adrian (Riccardo Scamarcio) will have such a lasting effect on her. The two immediately hit it off and Gloria soon becomes Adrian’s companion, his muse and his agent. Lulli is left with a single obsession: to ruin Adrian and he sets about doing so through a well-crafted diabolical plan.
In this glamorous yet scathing portrayal of the Roman art world, Rubini relishes his role as the scheming critic, and Scamarcio (‘My Brother is an Only Child’) portraying a character with his own dark side, proves he is more than just a heart-throb.
