The film "Shoes" (part of Witnesses) is absolutely fascinating and metaphorical. The Director ingeniously employs the use of foot movements and the absence of voices to portray the tragedy of the Holocaust in a unique way. The faces of the characters always serve as a personalisation, allowing us to identify with the protagonist. Moreover, the symbolic function of feet, as a representation of vertical stability and a symbol of strength and resilience in one's surroundings, enhances the artistic depth of the film. The feet replace the individual, embodying vitality and autonomy in their actions and decisions. This infusion of cultural meanings adds an exquisite layer of artistry to the film, making it truly remarkable.
