Sex & Nudity
-
- This film is very intense and disturbing. The main theme is incest and there are lots of sex scenes.
- A man and a woman are seen having sex several times. Her daughter is watching them. Lots of groans.
- The father closes his daughter in a custody of cello and forces her to look at him and her mother having sex. A very explicit disturbing scene.
- There are other sex scenes.
Violence & Gore
-

- Child abuse is a central theme and is shown both physically and mentally.
- A mother violently shoves her daughter down the stairs.
- A man is seen chained up with all of his limbs cut off by a chainsaw.
Profanity
-
- As is always the case with Sono it comes across moderate in English but if you understand Japanese you can hear how severe it is
- The English subtitled version I viewed contained mild use of profanity. There were at least a few uses of "fuck".
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The music makes the non tense scenes more tense whereas silence does the same in tense scenes
- There are only a handful of intense action scenes, however the overall atmosphere is very depressing. The film centers around child abuse and contains lots of nudity and sex.
Spoilers
