Coming to VOD tomorrow, Friday, December 5: THE LAST IMPRESARIO
Gracie Otto’s portrait of an acclaimed theatre and film producer debuted at BFI London last year. Its fest circuit has included DOC NYC, Hamptons, Dubai, Glasgow, Biografilm, and Sydney, among others. FilmBuff now releases the film on VOD platforms including iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, Xbox, PlayStation, and Google Play.
I previously wrote about the film for DOC NYC’s program, saying:
From OH! CALCUTTA! and THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW to MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL, producer Michael White has helped bring enduring cultural touchstones to Broadway, London’s West End, and the silver screen over the last four decades, but the bon vivant may be the most famous person you’ve never heard of. Thanks to a chance meeting in Cannes, Gracie Otto welcomely corrects that in this buoyant profile featuring admirers like Naomi Watts, John Cleese, Anna Wintour and Kate Moss.
