Moderate

A man forcibly fondles a woman's breasts. His face is seen during the act; his eyes are rolled upwards in pleasure.
The woman's breasts are briefly seen nude, her nipple is briefly flashed for half a second. Her bared buttocks are shown.
A woman is seen naked from the backside, no nudity is shown.

Violence & Gore

Severe
42 of 51 found this severe
This is a 1929 film, so obviously the first one is done with special effects. It's extremely graphic nonetheless:
A woman's eye is slit open with a straight razor, causing liquid to ooze out. They actually used a cow carcass for the effect, so it is real to some degree.
A severed hand is shown, with bone protruding from wrist.
A man's hand has a hole in it, which ants crawl out from.
A woman is forcibly molested.
Two dead donkeys are seen, one is dripping blood from its nose, and has maggots crawling in the eye sockets.
A man is shot.

Man is smoking a cigarette.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Severe

When the woman's eye is slit, it is very realistic. Although the film is art, many will find the random disturbing images unnerving.
