6/10
An extra twist or two might have made this one a winner...
3 May 2024
Single Portuguese woman living in Italy is cracking up: she's lost her job after sleeping for two days straight, she's having nightmares of an astronaut abandoned on the moon, there's another woman's dress in her closet (with a blood stain!), and she's found an unsigned postcard torn up in her trashcan. She decides to visit the hotel pictured on the card; it's located on a spooky island community off the coast of Turkey where everyone there appears to recognize her from the week before. Italian-Turkish co-production has a delicious set-up, but our heroine (the taut-faced Florinda Bolkan) sleepwalks through the story. The screenplay by Luigi Bazzoni (who also directed) and Mario Fanelli, adapting Fanelli's novel "Las Huellas", is satisfyingly worked out, and the mysterious locale (actually Phaselis, Turkey) is nicely captured, but these "Footprints" still fail to make a big impression. **1/2 from ****
