This documentary about Imelda Marcos “goes way beyond the shoes” to offer a rare and stunning glimpse of one of the world’s richest and most powerful women. Marcos herself guides the viewer through her life story, from beauty queen to wife of the Philippine president. Yet this exquisite film deftly crosscuts to vastly different accounts from opponents and journalists. Winner of the 2004 Sundance Award for Cinematography. 2003, U.S., color/BW, video, English and Tagalog with English subtitles, 103 minutes.
