violence
We see footage of Herzog being shot with an air rifle from off screen during an outdoor interview; there is aftermath sight of moderate blood and bruising around a small wound, but Herzog expresses no pain or alarm. Extracts from Herzog’s films infrequently feature moments of violence, including an undetailed stabbing.
language
Bad language includes ‘asshole’, ‘ass’, ‘scheiße’, ‘crap’, ‘Christ’ and ‘God’.
sex
A clip from THE BAD LIEUTENANT - PORT OF CALL: NEW ORLEANS shows a couple having sex in a public place, with rear nudity, mechanical detail, loud moaning and strong accompanying verbal references.
discrimination
There is infrequent use of discriminatory language, when a little person is referred to as a ‘midget’. In a 1980s interview, Herzog jokes that he should be in a ‘lunatic asylum’.
sexual violence and sexual threat
In a clip from AGUIRRE, THE WRATH OF GOD we hear a man briefly muttering about his intention to marry his own daughter to ensure the ‘purity’ of his dynasty.
injury detail
There are moderate images of real bruising and blood in the aftermath of an attack with an air rifle. A clip from a documentary features brief, blurry background images of the bloody remains of an animal that has been killed by a bear.
theme
A short sequence from the documentary GRIZZLY MAN shows Herzog reacting to an audio recording of a fatal animal attack while a visibly emotional woman looks on. We do not hear the recording itself.
