Bau, Artist At War

violence

There are scenes of violence towards Jewish prisoners in concentration camps, such as shootings and beatings. A man is whipped repeatedly across his back. A woman is beaten to death with a blunt implement, but most of the violence is off-screen. In another scene, several prisoners are made to stand outside naked until they freeze to death from the cold.

threat and horror

Jewish people are forced inside ghettos, rounded up by Nazi soldiers and then transported to concentration camps where they are made to engage in gruelling labour. People are separated from their loved ones.

language

There is use of moderate bad language ('bitch'), and milder terms ('ass', 'shit', 'sod', 'balls', 'God' and 'damn'). There is also use of the middle finger gesture.

discrimination

Discriminatory language (e.g. 'kike') is directed towards Jewish people by Nazis. The film follows a Jewish man's experiences of a concentration camp where he and other prisoners are subjected to cruelty and violence, fuelled by racism. Propaganda posters liken Jewish people to insects. Upsetting scenes include a young prisoner contemplating taking his own life, but another prisoner intervenes.

injury detail

Scenes of violence result in occasional sight of injury and blood in black and white. For example, a body is seen surrounded by a pool of blood following an off-screen shooting. The body of a dead prisoner is seen on an electric fence.

additional issues: There is a comic artistic rendering of a man's genitals utilising a tap coming out of the wall. There are also instances of mild toilet humour. Sex references are mild. Cigarette smoking reflects the period in which the film is set.
