This fun, stylish and male-baffling look at those things that cover your feet (women’s, that is) consists largely of interviews with very wealthy—what you’d have to call “Imeldic”—ladies who have shoe closets bigger than my 2DK. The humble shoe is examined from the sociological, historical, cultural and psychological perspective—and let’s not leave out the erotic. Or the obsessive. Also represented are designers like Manolo Blahnik, and a lot of people speaking in French. But mostly it’s rich ladies talking about this pair of Jimmy Choos they just hadda have but have never worn. Baffling. Japanese title: Watashi ga Kutsu wo Ai Suru Wake. (60 min) Showing from May 11
