Something to do with a baby and bus?...

Hi, I'm an MA film student (and so probably should have seen this by now!) and for the last couple of weeks we have been discussing realism in terms of Dogme 95 etc.

Anyway people keep mentioning that there is a scene in this film where a character is on a bus showing a baby (possible dead?) to the passenegers, and that it was filmed with hidden cameras (thus getting real reactions). I'm 99% sure it's this film they're talking about, but can't see anything mentioned around here about it. Sounds pretty disturbing anyway!

Anyone care to comment?
Cheers

they were referring to this film, but that's not exactly how the scene went.

and the hidden cameras? i'm not sure if they were used in this scene.

In the trivia section for this film it is written:

"In a number of scenes, including the scene where Julien carries a dead fetus onto a public bus, Korine used hidden "spy cameras" in order to get genuine reactions from unsuspecting onlookers."

So it seems that in fact there were "hidden cameras" of some sort used to capture the fetus on the bus scene.
