Luca Guadagnino on Directing Salvatore: Shoemaker of Dreams and Martin Scorsese

In 2020, Bones and All filmmaker Luca Guadagnino’s documentary Salvatore: Shoemaker of Dreams had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival. Ahead of the documentary’s release this year with Sony Pictures Classics, Guadagnino sat down to talk with Collider’s editor-in-chief Steve Weintraub. In no time at all, it’s made clear the director’s passion for Salvatore Ferragamo, the 20th-century cobbler-turned-luxury-shoemaker who began his art at the mind-boggling age of 12. After emigrating to Southern California from his home in Italy, Ferragamo’s talent enamored stars like Gloria Swanson, Mary Pickford and Marilyn Monroe. The documentary features appearances by Martin Scorcese, Manolo Blahnik, Christian Louboutin, as well as actual audio from Ferragamo himself.
In this interview, Guadagnino shares his ambitions to possibly do a musical or animated film in the future, whether he’d consider directing a superhero movie, and his passion for creating documentaries. He also reveals what inspired the idea to make Salvatore: Shoemaker of Dreams, what it was like working with Scorsese on the project, and how his upcoming film Challengers, starring Zendaya, is unlike anything the director has done before. You can read the full interview below, or watch the video above.

What a charming conversation, especially when they bonded over Golddrake and Japanese 80s robots

[@chasehedges6775]

This film looks interesting and Martin Scorcesee is fabulous director.

Wish they would make another suspira

[@masterofallgoons]

I wish he'd make his own 'Three Mothers Trilogy,' not just a sequel of his Suspiria. It would be great for him to do these thematically linked movies that aren't directly connected. And frankly, he could really improve on Aregento's Mother of Tears and even Inferno.

@@masterofallgoons i agree only if suspira 2018 had made more money $ it would be great to get a prequel and films about the other mothers
