God Save My Shoes is a documentary about the passionate relationship between women and their high heels. The film takes a look at the socio-cultural and erotic power of vertiginous footwear. Today the high heel is the icon of desirable femininity, Elizabeth Semmelhack,curator of the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto,said. When not offering commentary by fashion historians and luxury shoemakers,the film peers into the wardrobes of the singer Kelly Rowland,who consoles the slingbacks she hasnt worn in a while,and the self-designated lifestyle expert Baroness Monica von Neumann,who refers to her shoes as her everyday lovers.
Kevin Smith,the screenwriter,film producer and director,says he has learned a lot of tough lessons in the two decades since breaking into the film industry with his indie hit Clerks,and now he wants to pass them on. Tough Sht: Life Advice From a Fat,Lazy Slob Who Did Good,Smiths fourth book,focuses mainly on the highs and lows of the last five years of his career. He also talks about why he intends to retire from directing movies and other future plans.
