Valentino

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

This is a quick paced documentary about the fashion designer and the fashion label of the same name.
How they started, told over period news footage and building to a spectacular retrospective show (they hire The Colosseum in Rome) looking back over 45 years of business.
He;s catty, bitchy, funny often all at the same time.
The scene with the sand.... wait till you see it... no clues!
At about 90 minutes it doesn't outstay its welcome and is an interesting look at the dying world of haute couture.
Especially interesting for me was to see the old ladies who do all the (ENTIRELY) hand sewing.
VEry enjoyable.
