violence
A woman is beaten as punishment for stealing, the blows landing off-screen with the accompaniment of the woman's screams of pain. Two women struggle with each other briefly, and one falls to her death in undetailed fashion.
threat and horror
There are scenes of mild, but occasionally intense, psychological threat as characters mental states unravel and they pose a danger to themselves and others. A person attempts to push someone else off a high bell tower.
sex
There are very mild sex references, which include sight of artistic breast nudity in ancient murals painted on the walls of an old palace.
discrimination
Set during Britain's colonial rule of India, the film contains examples of discriminatory attitudes, such as Westerners saying that the local populace are "primitives", "like children", stupid" and "all look the same to me". Some of the European actors are made up to look like South Asian characters. The elements of discrimination are embedded in a historical context which would not be acceptable today.
injury detail
A nun has bloodstains on her clothing after treating a woman's injuries off-screen.
alcohol and smoking
A character smokes a pipe throughout.
