Ladies Room
Released: 1999
Comedy, Drama
In an ethereal, high-ceilinged room, women stand, waiting. Perhaps it's Purgatory and they're dead. In the room, two young women, one an actress and the other a psychologist, watch the last few days of their lives on a TV screen. Both are having affairs with married men, each has a long encounter with her lover's wife, and both these scenes take place in a ladies' room, one backstage at a play that's about to preview, the other at an opera house during the first act. The relationships between each pair of younger and older women take surprising turns, and in the room with the TV, a sylph asks probing and challenging questions of the two young women as they watch.

Scenes
Roberto's (John Malkovich's) pregnant wife hurries into a restroom stall and pees for over 20 seconds. She sighs, moans, and says "I thought I would explode." The bad audio mix makes it hard to hear this.
A woman says "I'm about to explode... I've gotta go!," before heading into a stall.
Women are in a dressing room, and one goes into a toilet stall and flushes the toilet but it is not clear what she is doing in there. Also, at the beginning of the film, a woman is shown jiggling around as if she has to pee.
