Matt Tyrnauer, Valentino: The Last Emperor

With the box-office bluster of Valentino: The Last Emperor, Vanity
Fair Editor-at-Large Matt Tyrnauer has a whole new career. The first-time
filmmaker has hit one out of the proverbial ballpark with his
documentary on what turned out to be the end of an era for Valentino,
the Roman haute couturier whose 45 year reign as a designer to royalty
and celebrity remains unmatched. Tyrnauer talks candidly about
his breakthrough with Valentino, how he retained final cut and what it
was like documenting "the most famous man in Rome after the Pope " (29 minutes).
