Sex & Nudity

Moderate
14 of 42 found this moderate
Several scenes include nudity in a non-sexual context. Jewish prisoners are forced to strip naked, and naked dead bodies are removed from the gas chambers. The nudity is mostly out of focus, and almost nothing is distinctly shown. A dead woman's breast is in focus in periphery of one scene.

Severe

At the beginning, the main character collects the coats and belongings of the victims sent into the gas chamber. Screaming and banging on the chamber door can be heard. Knowing what is happening, this scene is quite hard to watch.
The film follows a man named Saul Auslander during the Holocaust while he attempts to seek out a Rabbi in one of his nearby concentration camps in an attempt to bury a boy. Just by this description alone it should be easy to tell this film isn't for the faint of heart. It contains a lot of disturbing, faithful to reality content that is not for the faint of heart.
The ending is incredibly depressing. The film's atmosphere is intense and bleak all throughout, not for the faint of heart similar to Come and See (1985), but nowhere nearly as disturbing.
