Thanks Greg, I had forgotten that scene completely - will have to go back
and re-watch it. Happily, you also reminded me of that beautiful urination
scene in Kiarostami's And life goes on, where the child tries to preserve
his dignity by 'hiding' behind a spindly tree. Perhaps it's an Iranian
thing?

There an interesting urination scene in Samira Makmalbaf's Takhte Siah
(Blackboards). It follows a group of Kurdish refugees on the Iran/Iraq
border. An old man who has been unable to urinate due to a kidney stone
manages to piss just as the group are being shot at. It sets up an
interesting comparison between his personal bodily relief and the group's
collective fear.
