Luigi Bazzoni’s classic Giallo Footprints on the Moon is getting a Blu-ray release from Shameless Films.
The movie is about a young translator grappling with memory loss and features memorable cinematography from three-time Oscar-winner Vittorio Storaro.
Tormented by nightmare visions of a sinister scientist (Klaus Kinski) deliberately abandoning astronauts to die on the Moon, Alice is struggling to recall three missing days. A mysterious postcard beckons her to the enigmatic island of Garma. Once there, an unsettling revelation unfolds: the inhabitants recognize her presence during the unaccounted-for days, not as Alice but as another person named Nicole. Confronting uncomfortable truths, Alice embarks on a quest to unravel the mystery shrouding her identity and the events of those missing days – a quest that culminates in murder and an extraordinarily surreal finale.
Touching on mental health issues as well as on climate change, it resonates with today’s challenges while immersing viewers in an emotionally charged experience that transcends the ordinary.
‘FOOTPRINTS’ unfolds as a mesmerizing exploration of identity and the boundaries of perceived reality, memory, dreams, and existential mysteries; it stands as the most haunting and visually stunning Giallo you will ever see, presented here restored from 4K scans of the original camera negative, finally doing justice to the exquisite unearthly visions of its creators.
The Footprints on the Moon Blu-ray will be released on April 29, 2024.
