Footprints (2009)
A terrific film!!!
I found "Footprints" to be an intelligent, beautiful, and compelling film. Confidently told, the film is not easily defined, which for me is one of it's many strengths. It evokes a world experienced "in-between-the-lines," a place of longing, unresolved issues, ambition, and hope. Somehow it looks both backwards to the nostalgia of old Hollywood, and forward to a new kind of ethereal, trans like film-making.
The writer/director did a great job on this unusual little gem. And I thought the performances were terrific. The lead actress especially gave a strong, nuanced and honest portrayal of a young woman lost and struggling between two worlds. The cinematography, scoring, and editing were also very good and helped the story tremendously. I really liked the music.
I'd love to see this film again in my local theater. When is it coming out?! I've already recommended it to my friends.
