I Was Going to Post This on Cinephiles.net But That Site Has Blocked New Posts
The bathroom is a weird place: it can be gross and disgusting, full of germs and human waste, but it can also be a place of beauty, of makeup and mirrors and perfumes and powders. It's the room in the house where we are most in touch with our bodies and its functions. It also happens to inspire some excellent film scenes, viz:
The Shining - Jack talks to The Devil, surrounded by bright red.
Psycho - Course.
The Conversation - The toilet, OMG the toilet!
Trainspotting - The worst toilet in Scotland.
Miller's Crossing - "You think you've raised hell", "Sister, when I've raised hell, you'll know it."
The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover - Helen Mirren gets it on with her lover after a visually stunning colour switcheroo.
Reservoir Dogs - That whole story telling thing.
The Godfather - Michael earns his passage into the underworld.
What else ya got?
