God Save My Shoes

The film takes 70 minutes and a lot of silly chatter to conclude what every woman well knows: wearing hooker heels will have most men eating out of her hand. Or, if she's lucky, licking her aching feet.

Benasra's documentary purports to be a sociological examination of the intimate relationship between women and their shoes. But God Save My Shoes also displays a creepily fetishistic feel.

There's no escaping the fact that Benasra's documentary does little more than perpetuate the myth of women - all women - as vapid materialists worshipping at the altar of Manolo Blahnik.
