The best scene is the ending. While cliched, and almost expected, the audience is by then ready to accept Maxi, which makes it perfect.
Notice the cutscenes where Maxi goes up the stairs, or goes down stairs, or where no star is present in his background. How the flower he picked up is in fact from a dead man's wreath (car) in the intro... that is superb directing and overall vision by both writer and director. it's foreshadowing maxi's suffering with the death in his family and leaves the question mark on his survival in real life.
those were some of the masterful strokes by the director that needs credit more than the laughs people talk about.
The movie is a very technical directorial film (versus the popular concept of technical being "effects and editing"). The director left so many clues in every scene that makes interpretation easy.
Any particular scene in the movie needs to be judged based on the director's overall concept. To have ONE favorite scene, despite it being an undeniably happy fancy for most people (including myself), is myopic. Every scene has its merits in this film.
