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.

Regards,
Greg
