What if your shoes decided your life? This French short asks—and answers chaotically.
This is the story of a man, who on his way home, finds a pair of shoes on a trash can. Once he tries them on, he is no longer the master of his destiny.
Acting
Booder's physical comedy sells the absurd premise completely.
Practical Effects
The shoes themselves: genuinely expressive costars.
Director
Régis Loisel
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Loisel's background in Franco-Belgian comics (Les 7 Vies de l'Épervier) explains the grotesque physicality.
Michael Madsen reportedly did this between Tarantino calls; his gang leader barely speaks, just smolders at shoes.
