Babette&apos;s Feet

Whatever floats your boat

Have you ever heard the expression &quot;T.M.I&quot;? Teens use it a lot these days to mean &quot;too much information&quot; when someone is telling them something that probably should be kept private--such as the woes of many of the guests on daytime television talk shows. When I saw the comments for BABETTE&apos;S FEET, I kept hearing &quot;T. M. I.&quot; again and again in my head! Sure, I know there are people out there with foot fetishes and I say fine--enjoy. However, as someone who has no particular affinity for feet, I just felt a tad creeped out by the pro-foot fetish lobby out there! Oh, well,...unless you are stealing shoes or the like I guess it&apos;s all harmless.

As a non-fetishist, I was not particularly captivated by BABETTE&apos;S FEET. While I acknowledge that the film was well made--with excellent music and cinematography--I really didn&apos;t care about what was occurring on screen. Now if it had been more of a comedy, then maybe it would have held my attention. Not a bad film at all---I just didn&apos;t get it.

Is perfection real or is it an abstract concept unattainable in life? A fetishist sees the perfect pair of feet and goes to great lengths to meet them (and the woman to whom they're attached). He talks it over with his shrink (an axilla fetishist), sees the mystery woman remove her shoes at a Japanese restaurant (he sneaks over to her shoes and traces the sole of one in order to buy her a pair that will fit), and follows her, shoe box in hand, until the right moment. Meanwhile, we learn something about her own fetish when she sneaks into a hospital and puts on a nurse's outfit. When the moment of their meeting is at hand, will she accept his gift?
