The director of 'Once upon a time in Hollywood' once again defends his fetishism, comparing himself to Luis Bunuel and Hitchcock. Tarantino keeps thinking about his filmography and which movie to say goodbye to.

Qualley and Margot Robbie in the recent Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Tarantino's fetishism is indivisible from his filmography and his heroines, and that has sometimes created a lot of criticism among viewers.

Whether on social networks or through memes, Tarantino's feet love always starts with a wave of criticism of various categories, but the director is not concerned. "I don't take it seriously", he stated in a recent interview.
"There are a lot of feet in movies by a lot of good directors. It's just about a good direction. Before me, the person who defined foot fetishism was Luis Buñuel, another film director.

Quentin has cut more women out of his shoes than the Transportation Security Administration," he concluded with a laugh. . Without going any further, Margaret Qualley herself felt insecure about this facet of the filmmaker when she was forced to play the Manson family member who walked barefoot throughout the city.
Her character even went so far as to put the soles of her bare feet on the dashboard of Brad Pitt's vehicle in a very long shot. "I've been wearing half points for too long to make my toes presentable for the world to see," specified the actress, a ballet dancer for many years. "I used to beat myself up a lot with my feet, but maybe now I'll finally be able to turn the page," she concluded.
