Hey all! Found another "possible" footsie scene from a movie entitled "It’s Only Talk". Click on the link below for more details.
With It’s Only Talk, porn-turned-artsy director Ryuchi Hiroki continues to straddle between compassion for and perverse infatuation with mentally unstable women. Formally, it’s more adept than his previous features (I’ve only seen Vibrator and The Lover, out of a hefty 20-year catalogue yet to score stateside distribution), with a newfound penchant for long takes–often from canted angles, subverting the master-shot tradition—and fewer sprightly song montages. Hiroki supplies a strong first half, with thirty-something Yuko (Vibrator star Shinobu Terajima) floundering through hordes of emasculated men; a footsy-playing, middle-aged perv is ironically her only shot at symbiosis, and mostly just because he’s the only one who’s aroused and not intimidated by her spunky regressiveness. Still, he loses his way as Yuko attains stability in the form of a sympathetic cousin, the film turning into an examination of One Fucked-up Woman (cf. Benoit Jacquot) rather than the tangled circus of Men Who Love Her (cf. nobody else).
