Early on in this glitzy documentary, legendary designer Valentino Garavani is asked what women want. "I know what women want. They want to be beautiful," he says. Notice, if you will, his word choice
not "feel beautiful," but rather "be beautiful." As you will soon see, in the multi-billion dollar fashion industry, there is very little room for feeling. Either you are beautiful or you are not. If you are not, then step aside because some emaciated girl who hasn't eaten solid food in three months is waiting to fill your position. In this highly-competitive world, Valentino is an enigmatic and beloved figure. He is opinionated, temperamental, and dramatic
but has become defined by his passion, creativity, and brilliance. This documentary, handled with care by Matt Tyrnauer, follows Valentino and his partner, Giancarlo Giammetti, as they prepare for his 2006 Spring/Summer runway show and then his 45th anniversary retrospective, both events acting as signals for the quickly-approaching conclusion of Valentino's illustrious career.
