Footprints on the Moon1975
“Ecstasy beyond passion. Possession beyond lust. It is the ultimate fulfillment.”
Directed by Luigi Bazzoni, Mario Fanelli
The premise
Alice, a young translator, finds the real world slowly merging with her recurring nightmares as she tries to solve the puzzle of her recent memory loss. A postcard leads her to the island of Garma where the locals seems to know her. Is she who she thinks she is? And what significance does her dream of an astronaut abandoned on the moon have?
Horror Vault's take
A young translator begins losing her grip on who she is when fragmented nightmares start bleeding into her waking life. Drawn by a cryptic postcard to a sun-baked island where strangers seem to recognise her, she must piece together a past she cannot remember. Italian genre cinema at its most hypnotic, Footprints on the Moon weaves lunar imagery and psychological dread into an unsettling puzzle about selfhood. Fans of European arthouse horror will find its slow unravelling deeply rewarding.
