Need help identifying a film

[Andrew Grant]

I just read the description on IMDB. This sounds like it, but I just don't
remember the details.

For those who have seen Tokyo Kyodai -- was there a scene in that film of
the brother and sister sitting across from each other on the subway,
pressing their feet together? Such a haunting, beautiful film.

My guess is Jun Ichikawa's "Tôkyô kyôdai" (from 1995). A film I would love
to
see -- but have not yet seen (as it is not available in any home video
format).
