Two unusual movies

Two movies I have seen recently have some connections to feet, nothing special, just unusual.

Wadjda is a film from Saudi Arabia from 2012 that tells the story of a girl who wants a bicycle though society frowns upon bicycles for girls. There are some bare and stocking feet of school officials and the girl's mother in this, as well as of students of various ages. I am sure the film was frowned upon by most of Saudi society. I found it fascinating viewing.

The Leisure Class is a British film from 2015. Two guys are found to be frauds when one tries to marry into an upper class family. The father goes nuts and lashes one guy after making him take off his clothes. The mother has to threaten the guy with a gun to get him to stop. After the guy who was lashed (who is an absolute drunken lout for most of the film) is dressed again, he says to the father he has a question he has been meaning to ask and it could settle things down. Could he suck one of the mother's toes? Otherwise there is no mention of feet or indication the guy is into feet anywhere else in the movie.

"...tells the story of a girl who wants a bicycle though society frowns upon bicycles for girls. "

There's a Chekhov story (no not the guy from 'Star Trek') about a fusty classics professor with a rod so far up his ass magnets would stick to his his nose (figuratively of course) who's always bitching and whining about the newfangled ways of all the young people around him. Anyway, one of his grave criticisms of a certain young woman is "She rides the bicycle" (the horror!) which was something of a novelty at the time the story was written, sort of like segway scooters were a few years ago.
