Auteurs have 'signatures'; some like sweeping long takes, others like dramatic lighting, and Quentin Tarantino aggressively likes toes. From Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction to Margot Robbie in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, the director inevitably finds a completely unprompted narrative excuse to frame a lingering close-up on an actress's bare feet. He vehemently denies it's a weird fetish, claiming it's an homage to classic cinema. We'll just nod, smile, and slowly back away.
