What are your favorite scenes in the film?

I think that the suicide temple scene with the man and woman preparing to say goodbye to their children is one of the most beautiful, iconographic, and archetypal scenes in the film. The set - with the rock wall, spring, and the fire burning in the bowl, as well as the benevolence and purity of the characters in this scene is very powerful, made all the more so by the images of chaos and hedonism that book-end it. This is one of my favorite films, and I always find this scene to be a welcome intermission between the more wild and disturbing misadventures in the film.
