Salvatore: Shoemaker of Dreams

"The filmmaker, often glimpsed on the edges of the frame, clearly harbors the same giddiness for Ferragamo's talent as many of his interviews."

"More a sensible pump of a doc than a flashy stiletto..."

"The narrative’s tendency to embody the opposite of his innovativeness feels lazy and contradictory."

"Guadagnino’s often fascinating, unabashedly adoring and also perhaps somewhat overly stuffed study of the designer."

"Plodding through Ferragamo’s life, the documentary layers talking-head interviews with archival footage and photographs."

"Even if he couldn’t summon the experience of walking in Ferragamo’s shoes and getting to know him deeply, Guadagnino makes one appreciate the shoemaker’s indelible footprints from afar."

"Like walking through an immersive and interactive museum designed to make one feel nostalgic for a bygone era of art and craft. It’s magical stuff."

"A pleasure for anyone who loves shoes and/or good movies."
