Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina

language

Moderate bad language includes a few uses of 'whore' when talking about women having illicit affairs.

sex

There is a scene in which a man undoes a woman's dress, to expose her cleavage, and kisses the top of her clothed breast. He then raises her skirts and kisses her thigh. The couple are later seen lying together under blankets, with the man's bare thigh and bottom exposed as he moves from under the covers. No sex is shown on screen.

injury detail

There is a small spray of blood as a man shoots his horse. Blood is also visible on a woman's sheets and nightgown after she has suffered a miscarriage. A man slips under a train but there is only brief sight of his dead face and there are no visible injuries or blood.

additional issues: Other issues include a woman taking her own life by jumping in front of a train. She is seen to tumble off a platform but there is no sight of any impact or injury. A man also holds a gun to his temple but it misfires. There is some drug use as a woman is seen taking laudanum to calm her nerves.
