Valentino: The Last Emperor

En dokumentär om ett ämne jag är helt ointresserad av som faktiskt fångar min uppmärksamhet är imponerande.

...it’s fascinating to watch the man himself go through his paces for the final time...

It is clear that he does not enjoy being filmed and regrets ever having agreed to it. That gives the film an innate fascination.

...at its true heart the film is simply a love story, an exploration of the unique and complicated relationship between its two protagonists.

If Valentino is the celebrated diva and artist, Giammetti is the archivist, stager, and business mastermind.
