violence
There are strong bloody images in the aftermath of a stabbing. In another scene a man attacks his elderly and vulnerable mother, resulting in strong injury detail. There are also verbal references to people having been beaten by their parents as children.
threat and horror
There are scenes of strong threat when a man attacks and attempts to strangle a woman.
language
There is use of strong language (‘f**k’); milder terms include ‘bitch’, ‘dick’ and ‘shit’. There is also infrequent use of ‘gay’ as a pejorative term, but the work does not condone discrimination.
sex
There is a brief image of a woman riding a man in a grainy, black-and-white pornographic film, with breast nudity and thrusting detail. In another scene a man listens to a sexual story and masturbates below-frame.
flashing/flickering lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
Other issues include infrequent, non-graphic references to suicide and sexual harassment.
