Significance/symbolism of toe-licking scene
In The Last Emperor, on the day of Pu Yi's inauguration as Emperor of Manchukuo, his wife the Empress goes a bit nutty. First she eats some white flowers. Then later Eastern Jewel starts licking her toes.
I never got the significance of these scenes, especially the toe-licking one. Perhaps the flower-eating scene was just to show that she was becoming a slightly-crazed opium addict.
But what was the toe-licking one about? Is there some hint of lesbianism or what was that about?
