Valentino: The Last Emperor Returns to Streaming Platforms on September 29

On September 29, Matt Tyrnauer's 2008 film Valentino: The Last Emperor will be available for streaming again on Apple, Amazon, and Fandango. This self-distributed re-release reflects its original theatrical debut. The documentary focuses on designer Valentino Garavani and his partner Giancarlo Giammetti, showcasing Valentino's retirement and his 45th anniversary show. Following Garavani's passing in January, interest in the previously unavailable film increased, leading to a petition for its return. Filmed over two years with a cinema verité approach, the documentary premiered at the Venice Film Festival in August 2008, setting box office records. Although Giammetti initially had reservations, he later recognized its authenticity, describing it as a 96-minute testament to their legacy.
