violence
Scenes of strong violence include frenzied bloody stabbings, as well as beheadings. There is also sexualised violence, for example, during a scene in which a man slashes a woman's breast with a sword. There are also strong bloody images in the aftermath of violence, including those relating to stigmata, such as characters with bleeding palms and Jesus hanging from a cross having been crucified. There is also some injury detail after scenes of self-flagellation.
sex
There are scenes of strong sex, including cunnilingus, masturbation and implied penetration with a wooden sex toy. Such scenes also contain sexualised breast, buttock and genital nudity. In one sequence, a woman masturbates in front of her lover, who is reluctant to engage in sexual acts, ultimately refusing to touch her.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A woman is tortured using genital mutilation; it is implied that a device is used to penetrate her, but this is not shown in strong detail. In another sequence, a man attempts to rape a woman while she is restrained by others, but violence puts an end to the sexual threat.
nudity
There is frequent sexualised nudity.
There are also scenes of suicide.
