It can feel risky, as a director, to put a well-thought-out scenario at the mercy of New York streets, but, as indies like Daniel Antebis Gods Time (2022) go to show, the loss of control also breeds high rewards, capturing spectacles inherent to the city itself.
"Salvatore: Shoemaker of Dreams" (PG, 1 hour, 49 minutes, Blu-ray, DVD, On Demand) This elegantly stylish documentary considers Salvatore Ferragamo, who began his career as a shoemaker before he was a teenager, then went on to glamour creating shoes for iconic films and for stars like Gloria Swanson, Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks. Directed by Luca Guadagnino, with commentary by Martin Scorsese, Manolo Blahnik, Christian Louboutin and Wanda Ferragamo. Directed by Luca Guadagrino.
Watch "We Have a Ghost" on Netflix, "Bruiser" on Hulu, an even gorier "M3GAN"on Peacock and Jerzy Skolimowski's masterful donkey tale "EO" on the Criterion Channel.
Instead of making a thriller, the writer and director Daniel Antebi opts for a boho buddy comedy, with mixed results.
