VALENTINO: THE LAST EMPEROR
Playing at the Angelika NYC starting May 29th. Tickets on sale now.

Critics and audiences around the world are raving about this behind-the-scenes look at the life of legendary designer Valentino, and his longtime partner, Giancarlo Giammetti. The film follows these two men for the last two years of their careers, and shows the struggles they face as they confront the final act of a nearly 50-year career at the top of the fashion world. The struggle of art against commerce is at the center of the film. In the end, however, the story proves to be not one about money or expensive clothes, but about love.

Q&A with the director following the 7:15pm shows on Friday & Saturday!

Award-winning writer/director Rian Johnson (BRICK) will introduce his second feature film, THE BROTHERS BLOOM, at the 7:30pm 8:15pm and 10:20pm shows on Friday, May 14 in New York! He will host Q&A sessions following the 7:30pm and 8:15pm shows moderated by Ed Douglas of ComingSoon.net.
