Footprints on the Moon – Luigi Bazzoni’s haunting Giallo is getting a new Blu-ray release in April

Florinda Bolkan (Flavia The Heretic) delivers a masterful, nuanced performance bringing captivating depth to the character of Alice – a young translator grappling with memory loss and struggling to recall three missing days. Tormented by nightmare visions of a sinister scientist (Klaus Kinski; Fitzcarraldo, Nosferatu the Vampyre) deliberately abandoning astronauts to die on the Moon, Alice embarks on a quest to unravel the mystery shrouding her identity and the events of those missing days – a pursuit which culminates in murder and extraordinary surrealism.

Director Luigi Bazzoni’s (The Fifth Cord) unique vision is brought to life by three-time Oscar winner Vittorio Storaro’s (Apocalypse Now, The Last Emperor) striking cinematography, delivering haunting visuals and powerful emotional depth, standing as the most visually stunning Giallo you will ever see. Footprints unfolds as a mesmerising exploration of identity and the boundaries of perceived reality, memory, dreams, and existential mysteries, presented here restored from 4K scans of the original camera negative, finally doing justice to the exquisite unearthly visions of its creators.
