The Pee Movie List

The film consists of a series of tightly interlinked vignettes, the most sustained of which details the story of a man and a woman who are passionately in love. Their attempts to consummate their passion are constantly thwarted, by their families, by the Church and bourgeois society in general.

Scenes

Toilet

This controversial 1930 film may be the earliest mainstream motion picture to depict a woman apparently sitting on the pot. A reader describes the scene: "We see an actress from the waist up against a white tile background with a chain hanging by her side. We may surmise that she's sitting on a toilet, but we don't explicitly see that. In the next shot we see an empty toilet with a floor-length ribbon of toilet paper hanging from a neighboring roll. Bizarrely, the ribbon is on fire. We then see shots of churning lava with the sound of flushing on the soundtrack. It is, needless to say, a surrealist film."
