WAITING FOR BOJANGLES is a French drama film, set during the 1950s and ‘60s, in which a young boy is raised by eccentric parents.
sex
A couple have sex on the altar of an empty church after exchanging ‘wedding vows’, but there is no strong visual detail. In another scene two women wearing nightdresses are seen lying in a man’s bed, implying an off-screen threesome.
drugs
A woman smokes a joint at a party.
suicide and self-harm
A patient at a psychiatric facility threatens staff with a shard of glass and then moves as if to cut her own wrist before being restrained and sedated. A person's dead body is found by their family floating in the sea, implying that they have taken their own life off screen. Verbal suicide references are brief and infrequent.
theme
There are upsetting scenes related to the theme of mental health. A woman experiences symptoms of mental illness including delusions and extreme mood swings, often resulting in distress to herself, her partner and their young son. At one point she is admitted to a psychiatric facility, where she is subjected to outdated treatment including being forcibly strapped into a cold bath, and being hosed down with cold water. There are also brief scenes of bereavement.
additional issues
There is a sequence of non-sexualised full-frontal and rear nudity, when a woman walks naked down the street, seemingly unaware of her state of undress. Infrequent mild violence includes a sequence in which a school bully strikes another child’s face; a teacher later blames the bullying on the victim’s personality, but this view is clearly not endorsed by the film itself. Other issues include infrequent mild rude humour, very mild bad language (e.g. ‘floozy’, ‘moron’, ‘damn’), and frequent scenes of smoking which reflect the period in which the film is set.
