A CURIOUS LIFE is a British documentary exploring the roots and rise to fame of the band The Levellers as they look back on 25 years together. This version of the documentary also includes several delated scenes and other extras.
- Language
There are four uses of very strong language ('c**t'), none of which are aggressive or directed. There are also multiple uses of strong language ('f**k'). Milder bad language includes 'pissed', 'bloody' and 'shite'.
Other issues include drug references as one band member talks about how he became addicted to heroin and his colleagues took other drugs. The discussion focuses on how the drug use led to difficulties within the band and financial problems for some.
There are also some sex references with men talking about sleeping with their girlfriends. During a discussion about artistic differences in the band one man says that 'someone's got to have the biggest cock'.
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
