Scene that was so unreal (spoilers)

I liked the film,I had heard it was so scandalous but for this 24 year old it was pretty tame, I loved the story more. But the one part that kind of took me out of the film was when after Jeanne and Paul leave the tango, very drunk, she runs away from him and he runs after her. Since when can a drunk guy run really fast, be coordinated and not lose his balance? What should have happened was he should've lost his balance or thrown up and she would've left him.FIN. But yeah does anybody know of people who are blind drunk and can run in a straight line?

I don't think thats a problem. People tend to overplay their drunkenness when they are sitting around drinking and start falling all over themselves because they love being loaded. Then something big happens, a little adrenaline kicks in, they aren't quite as drunk as all that.
