Red Shoes starts by smartly showing the dreary life of an oldie living on his own looking impassively ready to welcome death. Yet what comes instead is a notice issued by the local law enforcement informing him about another death. The film meanders slowly and doesn't say much - like the lead character - but it says a lot through its sequences about loneliness, bureaucracy, intimacy, and relationships. By the end of Red Shoes, I had a few more thoughts to think about if in future I ever become a father to a daughter.
