Best scenes for comparison

Rating: 9/10 (21 October 2006)

I thought I might see if IMDb is a good platform to a launch a discussion of Criterion's 1st DVD and a classic of french cinema.
As part of an assignment for my UCLA French Film class, I've been asked to compare two of the film's scenes (non consecutive). This comparison should be vivid in motifs, thematic presence, camera angles, style etc I've screened the film many times, found tons of analysis for individual scenes, but I'm struggling to find the two scenes that would be perfect candidates for comparison and cross-analysis.
What do the resident film buffs at IMDb think? Any suggestions? Thanks for any input from a longtime lurker, Alan
