I watched this movie in French class- it was great! But it was kind of hard to follow, so I was wondering if the opening scene was actually a scene from "the present," while the rest of the movie was, in turn, a following of the events that led up to Ponceludon's disgrace at the masquerade? I don't think he was tripped twice; instead, I think that the urination scene (which my teacher censored, lol), was actually retaliation for the ridicule that occured at the end of the movie. Does that make sense? Hopefully somebody can clarify. .onion 04:16, 15 June 2006 (UTC).onion The opening scene was, indeed an act of revenge from the past. The disgraced noble reappears after the death of the elderly man upon whom he urinates. The significance of the scene is that the old man is the husband of the Fanny Ardant character, who plots Ponceludon's downfall in exactly the same way . What a powerful comment on a society that alienates a person for falling on the dancefloor! Incidentally, the nobleman at the beginning of the film endured exile for a long time, and was known, much to his humiliation, as "Monsieur Clatterbang"......
