Cleopatra

Contains mild violence, language, sex references and grisly scenes

violence
The violence is strongest in the scene in which Caesar is assassinated. Two men hold his arms as another draws a dagger. He is stabbed in the back and then the chest with very brief sight of a small amount of blood around the blade. He is then seen with blood on the front and back of his tunic as he staggers towards another man and is stabbed again. The blows are all masked and there is no detail of any injury.
language
The language includes a literal use of the term 'bastard', in reference to Cleopatra's child with Caesar. There are also two uses of 'whore', when Cleopatra says the Emperor Octavian has "made of me unmistakably your whore", and when Octavian rages against Mark Antony's request to be buried "in Egypt, among Egyptians. Beside his Egyptian whore!"
sex
Sex references include Cleopatra being described as using her "sexual talents, which are said to be considerable". The speaker continues, saying "Her lovers, I am told, are listed more easily by number than by name".
injury detail
The grisly images include the sight of the top of Pompey's severed head, pulled from an urn and presented to Caesar as a gift.
