sex
During a sustained scene of BDSM roleplay, a dominatrix sex worker asks a man a series of increasingly personal and humiliating questions, instructs him to strip down to his underwear and clean the bathroom, and then supervises him as he masturbates below frame, taunting him throughout. There is also a sequence of previously unnegotiated and unsafe BDSM sex - focusing on the characters’ upper bodies and devoid of nudity - during which the woman holds a knife to the man’s neck. Other scenes feature strong sex references, including infrequent references to racist behaviour in the context of sexual roleplay. Discrimination is not condoned by the work as a whole.
additional issues
The film concerns an unhealthy, boundary-blurring relationship between a sex worker and her client, whose increasingly aggressive arguments culminate in the man tying the woman to a bed, brandishing a knife and threatening to kill her and himself; however, the woman soon regains control of the situation, and no one is physically injured. There are non-graphic references to sexual violence, as well as scenes in which the sex worker attempts to blackmail the client by threatening to release secretly obtained recordings of their sessions. There is use of strong language (‘f**k’); milder terms include ‘cock’, ‘bitch’, ‘dick’, ‘shit’, ‘ass’ and ‘asshole’, in addition to a use of the discriminatory term ‘retarded’. Other issues include infrequent verbal references to drug misuse.
