"No matter how humble a family, a shoemaker was humbler, still." Sony Pictures Classics has unveiled this 7-minute extended preview for a documentary film from 2022 titled Salvatore: Shoemaker of Dreams, made by Call Me By Your Name's Italian director Luca Guadagnino. This already opened in theaters last year (watch the original trailer) after first premiering at the 2021 Venice Film Festival. It's now available on home video to rent or buy. I was entirely fascinated by this film, even if it runs a bit long, it's an intriguing look at this man's remarkable story and how he really believed in making the perfect shoe for everyone. In the early 20th century, impoverished teenage Italian cobbler Salvatore Ferragamo sailed from Naples to America to seek a better life. He settled in Southern California, and became Hollywood's go-to shoemaker during the silent era. In 1927, he returned to Italy and founded in Florence his namesake luxury brand.

The box office woes are far from the whole story about the three awards-worthy films that opened or expanded over Thanksgiving weekend – MGM/Uar’s “Bones and All,” Sony Pictures’ “Devotion” and Walt Disney’s “Strange World.” Despite low financial returns, the studios are forging ahead in their bids for Academy Awards attention, as they should.
The cannibal feature “Bones and All” struggled to bring audiences to the theaters despite the star power of Timothée Chalamet. Still, for those who love it (spoiler alert: me), it’s one of the year’s best films, with its bloody embodiment of teenage love, meticulous crafts and high-caliber performances that elicit a passionate response.
It might not work for voters who are squeamish about severed fingers and blood dripping on nice furniture, but the film won prizes for its director Luca Guadganino and best young actress for star Taylor Russell when premiered at the Venice Film Festival.

Luca Guadagnino may perhaps be best known on these shores as the director of lush scripted films like Call Me by Your Name, Suspiria and this year’s Bones and All. But since the start of his career, he’s also directed documentaries (Bertolucci on Bertolucci; Cuoco contadino, about one of Italy’s most inventive chefs; among others), which he calls the “very highest and noble art form of cinema.”
His latest is Salvatore: Shoemaker of Dreams, about the rise of master shoe craftsman Salvatore Ferragamo, which opened in theaters Nov. 4. With a name that has long been emblazoned on storefronts on high-end fashion streets worldwide, Ferragamo began his career as the footwear-obsessed child of poor Italian farmers who started training for the field at the age of 9. Salvatore follows Ferragamo from these humble origins to Santa Barbara, California, where he crafted shoes...

“Salvatore: Shoemaker of Dreams,” Luca Guadagnino’s winning documentary delving into the life and career of legendary Italian shoe designer Salvatore Ferragamo, begins appropriately enough with a pair of high-heeled ruby slippers in the process of creation. The sparkling red objects pass through various checkpoints and construction moments in a seamless integration of people and machines, wearable art both handmade and mass-produced.
These opening shots, satisfying and methodical — presented without explanation, suggesting that Guadagnino might be assuming a fly-on-the-wall approach for the duration — quickly give way to traditional documentary practices, and pleasingly so. This is history not widely known outside the world of fashion, and Ferragamo’s story is a complex intersection, touching on early-20th-century immigration, youthful ambition, the dawn of Hollywood, passionate artistic hunger, tenacity, foot fascination and wild innovation. Thus Guadagnino’s carefully and lovingly detailed history lesson, free of stylistic flourishes, is as satisfying and methodical as that red shoe–making.

Three films opening this weekend highlight women’s rights, class and racism — nothing ripped from today’s headlines exactly, but features with a distinctive moment and point of view that appear particularly relevant today. Call Jane, Holy Spider and Armageddon Time join Tár, Till, The Banshees of Inisherin and others already in theaters as it gets crowded out there in specialty.
The widest release, Roadside Attractions’ Call Jane opens on 1,070 screens. It stars Elizabeth Banks as Joy, a traditional suburban housewife who falls in with a group of activists after a medical board denies her a “therapeutic termination” despite a life-threatening medical condition. The real underground Jane collective led in the film by Virginia (Sigourney Weaver) arranged illegal abortions in 1960s and ’70s Chicago. The film by Phyllis Nagy premiered at Sundance. Deadline’s review said “ it strikes an upbeat, non-judgmental note while exploring the gender and body politics of the time.

Four years after his last feature, Luca Guadagnino will be returning this November with not one, but two features. Ahead of his cannibal love story Bones and All, arriving just in time for your Thanksgiving meal, his documentary Salvatore: Shoemaker of Dreams will land in theaters. With narration by Michael Stuhlbarg and appearances by Martin Scorsese, Manolo Blahnik, Christian Louboutin, Grace Coddington, and Wanda Ferragamo, the film charts the life of Salvatore Ferragamo, from a poor teenage shoemaker to creating a dynasty. Ahead of the release, the first trailer has arrived.
Rory O’Connor said in his review, “The film is the latest from Luca Guadagnino, the celebrated Italian filmmaker behind Call Me By Your Name and I Am Love and perhaps the best director of fashionista movies working today. Salvatore is a passion project through and through and fully enamored with its subject, bordering on mythologizing. Many of those interviewed...

"A new world was opening up before my eyes." Sony Classics has revealed the US trailer for a documentary film titled Salvatore: Shoemaker of Dreams, made by Call Me By Your Name's Italian director Luca Guadagnino. It's a fascinating story! Don't write this one off even if you don't like shoes much. This doc premiered at the 2020 Venice Film Festival during the pandemic (I was there! I saw it!) and despite mixed reviews, has been waiting for release for the past two years. In the early 20th century, impoverished teenage Italian cobbler Salvatore Ferragamo sailed from Naples to America to seek a better life. He settled in Southern California, and became Hollywood's go-to shoemaker during the silent era. In 1927, he returned to Italy and founded in Florence his namesake luxury brand.

It feels like every year, there’s another Luca Guadagnino joint around the corner. Whether his upcoming cannibal love story “Bones and All” or his tennis-world love triangle “Challengers,” the Oscar-nominated Italian filmmaker is never for want of a new gig. But what’s more, he has another completed film that’s been sitting on the shelf since its Venice Film Festival premiere in September 2020: “Salvatore: Shoemaker of Dreams.”
Guadagnino’s latest documentary feature (because he makes those too) is a loving salute to fashion icon Salvatore Ferragamo. In tribute, he’s rounded up a terrific group of luminaries: Martin Scorsese, Manolo Blahnik, Christian Louboutin, and Grace Coddington among them. Exclusively on IndieWire, watch the trailer for the film below.
Eagle-eared Guadagnino fans will note the film’s narrator as heard in the trailer: one Michael Stuhlbarg, otherwise known as Elio’s father Mr. Perlman in “Call Me by Your Name.

Exclusive: On lunch break Thursday in the first day of shooting of his first U.S.-set film Bones And All, director Luca Guadagnino talked about seizing the chance to reunite with Call Me By Your Name cohorts Timothée Chalamet and Michael Stuhlbarg, latter of whom he added to cast along with André Holland, Jessica Harper, Chloe Sevigny, Francesca Scorsese (the Guadagnino-created HBO series We Are Who We Are), and David Gordon Green — yes, the Halloween director. They join previously announced Chalamet, Taylor Russell and Mark Rylance.
To devotees of Best Picture Oscar nominee Call Me By Your Name who were hopeful for a sequel, Guadagnino made it sound doubtful. The whole thing has gotten complicated. Chalamet will be busy making blockbusters like Dune sequels and playing the young Willy Wonka, and co-star Armie Hammer has been dropped from numerous projects over troubling off-camera allegations.

Wong Kar-wai isn’t the only established director who has recently lent his hand to an advertising campaign.

It’s of course a strong fit after he helmed a documentary about the designer, which we reviewed at Venice, and will likely arrive this year through Sony Pictures Classics.

The Venice Film Festival wraps today after putting on a show against the odds. Despite lacking in studio fare, there was no shortage of well-received movies. Was there a Sundance-style bounce, with critics giddy just to be on the Lido after months of lockdown? Perhaps. But this was also a solid roster of independent movies. While there was no Joker juggernaut, there was at least one Roma rave. We’ve done a wide sweep of the English-language reviews and here’s our run-down of the best-received world premieres.

Biographical documentaries, just like the biographical narrative film, tend to benefit from some specificity. Danny Boyle’s Steve Jobs movie was quickly forgotten but it felt remarkably fresh upon release. This was thanks largely to the structure of Aaron Sorkin’s script, which honed in on three key nights to explain the bigger picture. Salvatore: The Shoemaker of Dreams, a detailed account of the legendary cobbler Salvatore Ferragamo’s life, goes the more conventional route––taking us from rags to riches and cradle to grave.

As the auteur behind “Call Me By Your Name,” Luca Guadagnino has established his bonafides as the preeminent chronicler of romantic love. His documentary work often applies that focus to passionate figures in love with what they do, from Tilda Swinton to Bernardo Bertolucci, celebrating cinematic artists with the same gusto that he brings to the form. His delightful “Salvatore: Shoemaker of Dreams” is the best example of that tendency to date, a delightful two-hour love letter to iconic Italian shoemaker Salvatore Ferragamo that doubles as a history of Hollywood glamour from the ground up — literally — as it delivers a delectable tribute to his mouthwatering designs.
Ferragamo’s story tracks a series of major historical moments: Blending excitable talking heads, revealing home movies, and ample closeups of ostentatious feet, the movie follows Ferragamo from poverty in the early 20th century to Hollywood stardom at the birth of the industry, through the Great Depression and WWII,...

Following a craftsman in the Salvatore Ferragamo workshop in Florence as he goes through the complex step-by-step assembly of the Italian shoe designer’s famed Rainbow model, it’s hard to comprehend that this funky, multicolored wedge-sole sandal was actually created in 1938 and is not some superfly pop art extravagance of the disco era. It exemplifies the bold originality of the 20th century innovator, perhaps the prime progenitor of the Made in Italy fashion revolution, who receives an effusive salute in Luca Guadagnino’s biographical documentary feature, Salvatore: Shoemaker of Dreams.

The Venice Film Festival’s market is kicking off preceded by a flurry of activity, with several significant deals already announced during the world’s first physical place to do business after lockdown.
Though smaller than in past editions, the event – known as the Venice Production Bridge – has more than 800 mostly European accredited buyers, sellers, producers and financiers in attendance. Plus 150 more signed up for its online aspect. Roughly 400 physical meetings have already been booked through the market’s networking service. That’s symbolic of a restart.
“Our business is meeting; it’s networking, first of all,” says Vpb chief Pascal Diot. “Especially for producers,” he adds. “They need to meet people, it’s simply not the same thing as a Zoom or Skype conversation.”

Exclusive: In the early 20th century, an impoverished teenage Italian cobbler sailed from Naples to America to seek a better life. He settled in Southern California, and became Hollywood’s go-to shoemaker during the silent era. In 1927, he returned to Italy and founded his namesake luxury brand, which has become one of the world’s most famous.
Salvatore Ferragamo is now the subject of a new documentary from Call Me By Your director Luca Guadagnino. Ahead of its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, we caught up with the Oscar-nominated Italian filmmaker about the film, which charts Ferragamo’s remarkable rags to riches story.
Guadagnino spent two years piecing the story together from a script by fashion and culture journalist Dana Thomas. Talking heads include Martin Scorsese, Ferragamo’s family members, costume designer Deborah Nadoolman Landis, and famous designers Manolo Blahnik and Christian Louboutin. Call Me By Your Name star Michael Stuhlbarg narrates.

The “Call Me By Your Name” film sequel is still kicking around with director Luca Guadagnino, it’s just going to take a bit longer to develop since the filmmaker is quarantined in Milan, Italy for the foreseeable future. The director recently told the Italian publication Gay.it (via The Playlist) that he was set to come to America for an important meeting with a potential screenwriter for the sequel before Italy went on lockdown.
“I was going to America to meet a writer I love very much, whose name I don’t want to mention, to talk about the second part,” Guadagnino said. “Unfortunately, everything is canceled. Of course, it’s a great pleasure to work with Timothée Chalamet, Armie Hammer, Michael Stulhbarg, Esther Garrel, and the other actors. They will all be there in the new film.”

Over the last week or so, we’ve heard countless reports of productions around the world suspending due to the coronavirus pandemic, especially in European countries, where the outbreak has led to complete lockdown.

Luca Guadagnino is currently on lockdown in Milan, Italy because of the coronavirus pandemic, but he tells Vulture in a new interview that he’s keeping busy with three projects in various stages of post-production. The most immediate to Guadagnino is his HBO series “We Are Who We Are,” which centers around the budding relationship between two teenagers living on an American military base in Italy. Guadagnino is also producing the next film from director Ferdinando Cito Filomarino, a drama starring John David Washington titled “Born to Be Murdered.” The director is also working on a documentary about the shoemaker Salvatore Ferragamo.

Kyle MacLachlan may have been robbed of an Emmy nomination for his work on “Twin Peaks: The Return,” but he’ll always be a winner in our hearts. Luca Guadagnino apparently agrees, as MacLachlan tweeted today that he’s working on a project with the “Suspiria” director that apparently calls on him to sport some eye-catching facial hair: “Which side of the mustache do you prefer, left or right?” the actor asked. “Finding my look for a short film with #LucaGuadagnino shooting in Rome!”
Guadagnino has been highly prolific since directing “A Bigger Splash,” following up the 2015 drama with “Call Me by Your Name” and “Suspiria” within just three years. He has several other projects in the work, ranging from a documentary about Italian shoemaker Salvatore Ferragamo to a “Call Me by Your Name” sequel. “I am scribbling ideas,” he said of the latter during an interview at the Venice Film Festival.

There’s no way to truly prepare yourself for the madness on display in “Suspiria,” including watching the original. Luca Guadagnino’s remake of Dario Argento’s horror classic runs nearly an hour longer than its predecessor and greatly expands its narrative scope, so much so that the Oscar-nominated “Call Me by Your Name” director doesn’t even consider it a remake — he prefers the term “cover version.”
The film has already proven divisive, and not without reason: “Suspiria” dances to the beat of its own drummer, and that drummer is a witch planning to harvest the souls of young performers for its latest production of an avant-garde ballet. In an interview at the Venice International Film Festival, where “Suspiria” had its world premiere, the filmmaker said that his affection for the genre drew particular inspiration from Argento’s original.
