The Last Dance

An ailing man strikes his adult daughter’s face as she attempts to assist him. One woman slaps another.

There is infrequent use of strong language (‘f**k’). Milder terms include ‘bitch’, ‘piss’, ‘shit’ and ‘freaking’.

A brief, blurry sex scene shows a man thrusting on top of a woman in bed.

A Taoist priest repeatedly expresses the belief that women are unclean due to menstruation, and should therefore not partake in rituals for the dead. Such views are clearly criticised.

Dead bodies, including the partially decomposed body of a child, are shown being prepared for interment or cremation; these scenes are restrained and moderate in terms of visual detail, however. There is also brief sight of blood on an emergency service worker’s uniform, as well as a sequence of vomiting.

There are potentially upsetting scenes involving illness, death and bereavement, including one in which a woman watches funeral workers handling the dead body of her child. These issues are handled with a combination of matter-of-factness and sensitivity.
