"Туфельки", трейлер к фильму/ "Shoes", trailer
1分程のトレーラーでも素晴らしい作品だとわかる。
“Shoes” is a poignant, 18-minute story about the Holocaust that does not have a single line of dialog or even a face featured in it: Only red shoes are shown throughout the entire movie. Still, it has a greater impact than any big-budget action film, proving that war can be explored simply, wisely and quietly.
Costa Fam knows how to tell a simple story. He himself is a story, though not simple at all. His mother is Jewish and father is Vietnamese—quite an explosive cocktail to course through one's veins. One of his grandfathers was killed in Vietnam, and the other went missing in action during the war. His grandmother lived in occupied Ukraine. His family has experienced more than its share of drama.
Film shows Generation Z oblivious of the Holocaust
"My mother remembers how they searched for frozen potato tubers in the field, how their bodies swelled from starvation. She remembers the knock at the door, how they were called Jewish degenerates and thrown into the cold. War is a tragedy for everyone, but for Jews it was like that," says Fam.
He has been making films his whole life, or, at the very least, trying to. He has already completed dozens of short films, TV series, and commercials—the normal work profile of an ordinary professional. There was nothing to prepare him for the success he experienced after “Shoes,” and it cannot be explained just by its Jewish theme.
If you think about it, nothing much happens on the screen. A girl buys the shoes of her dreams. She falls in love, gets married. They have children. They are just a regular couple and very happy. Then all this happiness is shattered into pieces when the war begins. It is a war to destroy those like them. The last scenes are of the gas chambers being slammed shut, the forlorn outlines of camp barracks, and a mountain of shoes without any owners.
Some might shrug their shoulders or be bored, but very few remain unmoved. Many in the audience cried during the screening of “Shoes.”
