A Pale View of Hills

A child bites a man’s leg and a woman slaps her adult daughter.

Characters search for a missing child and a boy falls from a tree off-screen. Scenes are occasionally disquieting in tone.

There is infrequent use of strong language ('f**k'), as well as milder terms including 'bitch', 'damn' and 'hell'.

A man briefly attempts to initiate sex with his wife during a darkly lit scene. There are also discreet references to an extra-marital affair.

Atomic bomb survivors face stigma and discrimination. This includes a scene of discriminatory behaviour directed at a child. The issue is contextualised by the film’s historical setting.

Blood is shown on a child’s leg following an injury. There is also brief sight of burn scars on a person's arm.

There are verbal references to suicide.

A person drowns a litter of kittens in a river in front of their distressed daughter during a visually discreet scene, upsetting references are made to the killing of children, and a woman struggles with feelings of guilt over the deaths of children during the Nagasaki atomic bombing.

Adults are occasionally seen smoking.
