Black Shoes

About This Movie

So, 'Black Shoes' is this intriguing piece from '98 that dives into the darker corners of love and mortality, set against the backdrop of Alentejo. The pace is deliberate, almost languid at times, which really lets you soak in the atmosphere. It’s not flashy—more subdued, but it has a weight to it that sticks with you. The performances feel grounded, almost haunting, which really adds to the crime aspect pulled from a real case. You can sense the tension and that blend of personal drama with the criminal elements creates a distinct vibe. It's got this raw honesty, you know? Definitely a film that lingers in your mind long after it's over.
