		<title>The Last Emperor &#8211; A great film about a creative genius and the conflict between creativity and making money.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know I&#8217;m a bit late seeing the documentary about Valentino, &#8217;The Last Emperor&#8217;,  but it was as good as everyone said it was.   It was a beautiful love story and a great homage to both Valentino Garavani and his partner Giancarlo Giammetti.  What I liked the most was that the film really articulated the [...]]]></description>
