All of Quentin Tarantino's Filmic Foot Fetish Moments

We all have our kinks. Some are more tame than others, sure — there’s a profound difference between some light choking and 24/7 BDSM, but to each their own. And while it’s hard to get behind certain philia (copro- and necro- to name but two) as the saying goes in the kink community, who are you to yuck on someone else’s yum?
In a cultural movement of sex-positivity, where female pleasure is getting its dues and porn is seen as an art form, fetishists are more out and proud than ever (at least according to Berlin Tinder bios). And next to dreams of threesomes, foursomes and sometimes-even-more-somes, feet are the uncrowned king of the fetish world. From Elmer Batters to Andy Warhol, Marilyn Manson to Dita von Teese, there’s a string of cultural heroes who think toes are a turn-on, and Quentin Tarantino is no exception.
Tarantino’s foot fetish is no secret — if that Pulp Fiction barefoot dance scene wasn’t obvious enough, then Salma Hayek’s toe in Tarantino’s mouth in From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) is surely case-in-point — not to mention one girl’s toe-sucking encounter with the seminal director that went viral in 2013. He’s worked with some of industry’s most famous faces, from his muse Uma Thurman to Natural Born Killer, Juliette Lewis, but it’s not just the faces Tarantino’s interested in. Reflecting on his 30 year-long career, we chart the best, and most intimate, examples of Quentin Tarantino’s affinity for feet.
