Luca Guadagnino, best known for ‘Call Me By Your Name’, has made a film about Salvatore Ferragamo. But it’s not a fashion story.
A recent remake of the Bella shoe of 1920s Hollywood renown.is. Testimonies from film critics and the likes of Martin Scorsese confirm this. The documentary itself is utterly immersive and entrancing. Much of it is told through recordings of Ferragamo’s recollections laid over old movies, photographs and footage, drawing us back into an other-worldly past just as Ferragamo had been drawn into a whole new world.
Documentary is a very noble art, probably the most pure cinema ... It is for me a very liberating experience.“Now that I am 50, I realise that most of the time when I look for a story I am [looking for one] about a maverick, someone who is an underdog, someone who is at the margins, an individual who doesn’t think or behave according to the norm,” he says.
Ferragamo himself describes his craft in almost mystical terms, as if his work was a process of remembering. “I had a clear vision that my work had been done before,” he says. “I have done it. Where? I do not know.”
