Sex & Nudity

  • The movie contains sex scenes including menage-a-trois and implications of homosexual behavior but except for breasts it just looks like skin. There is a significant amount of male and female nudity with many clear scenes showing breasts but no genital nudity except one small fraction of a second, usually missed. The confusion of sexual identities is one of the themes of the movie.
  • Opening sequence shows a quick images of sex scene between two characters. Woman's breasts and butt is seen very briefly few times. It's implied also that she gave him oral sex.
  • Man involuntarely strips naked, his butt is shown for some time.
  • A pornographic video is briefly shown. Woman's butt is seen there while she's been bended over desk and slapped with belts (very brief)

Violence & Gore

  • Contains a prolonged, violent beating scene and two people killed in shootings.

Profanity

  • Contains possibly the first use in a motion picture of "wanker".
  • 1 F-word, 2 sh*ts, 2 bastards, all infrequent and rarely used.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Smoking: Cigarettes & Cigars
  • Alcohol: Infrequent social and none to excess
  • Considerable amount of drug use.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The finale is somewhat bewildering and a shocker.
