violence
A fencing bout contains sharp slashings of swords, resulting in brief blood spurts and partially-masked injuries under torn clothing. A man is shot in the chest in a scene depicting social unrest on the streets of Paris during the French Revolution.
threat and horror
A man is attacked in an alley, punched and threatened to have his fingers broken. In other scenes, an enslaved woman tries to escape capture from white plantation owners. There is also a suspenseful scene involving gun threat.
language
There is infrequent use of strong language ('f**k'), accompanied by others milder terms ('whore', 'harlot', 'bastard', 'shit', 'God', 'Christ' and 'damn').
sex
A man wakes up in between two women, suggesting a threesome. Other verbal references to sex employ innuendo and explore themes of adultery.
discrimination
Racism in the context of 18th Century France is a frequent feature of the film. The protagonist, the son of an African slave and French plantation owner, is subject to verbal and physical attacks, as well as public mockery, from wealthy white elites. Racist language is used, including terms such as 'dark', 'monkey', 'ape' and 'negro'. Racist behaviour is sometimes accompanied by violence and threat. The film as a whole clearly does not endorse racism, however, with prominent characters attempting to challenge entrenched attitudes.
theme
There are upsetting scenes as a man is informed that his illegitimate child has been murdered.
