product details & reviews
Italian filmmaker Luigi Bazzoni (THE FIFTH CORD) directed this stylish and surrealistic giallo thriller reminiscent of such paranoid classics of the form as PERFUME OF THE LADY IN BLACK and ALL THE COLOURS OF THE DARK. Florinda Bolkan stars as a translator named Alice Cespi, whose life is falling apart due to strange memories from childhood when she was forced to watch a film called 'Footprints On The Moon' involving an unethical experiment in leaving astronauts stranded on the moon's surface. Alice has terrible dreams and begins to become addicted to tranquilizers, desperate to shake surreal visions such as being chased across a beach by fully attired astronauts. The drugs and her deteriorating mental condition cause her to miss work and she is eventually fired, whereupon she travels to a dilapidated former tourist area called Garma after receiving a mysterious postcard. There, she runs into a girl named Paula Burton (Nicoletta Elmi from PROFONDO ROSSO), who tells her that she looks exactly like another woman, Nicole, currently staying at the faded resort. Alice then encounters a series of strange people and circumstances, all leading her closer to unlocking the possibly deadly mystery. Shot by award-winning cinematographer Vittorio Storaro (APOCALYPSE NOW), the film is based on Mario Fenelli's novel LAS HUERRAS.

Lose yourself in the previously thought long lost classic thriller that is Footprints. Never before released in the UK and unavailable worldwide on DVD until now, this exclusive re-build edit, which restores previously lost scenes, is not to be missed.
In this masterful, surreal and extraordinary film, Florinda Bolkan (Flavia The Heretic) plays Alice, a young translator who finds the real world slowly merging with her nightmares as she tries to solve her memory loss of the past few days. A postcard leads her to the island of Garma where the people there not only seem to know her but also her vivid dreams of an astronaut left behind on the moon become steadily stronger…
Directed by Luigi Bazzoni (The Fifth Cord) and boasting chillingly atmospheric cinematography by Vittorio Storaro (Apocalypse Now), Footprints is the loneliest, most haunting and beautiful giallo you will ever see.
