Even if I was flush, I wouldn’t pay $500 per night for any Venice hotel room. (I would, however, pay $500 for a perfect pair of Italian-made suede lace-ups, if money was no object. Or the right kind of sweater or suit.) And yet you can’t say that these videos, forwarded by festival-attending friends, don’t convey a certain lusciousness. Worth $500 per night? You tell me.
It’s important to watch these videos with good, strong sound.
