sexual violence and sexual threat
In the present day, a man is punished for betraying his employer by being bound to a table and raped by a pig; the scene is very brief and created with special effects. In scenes from the past, Jewish women are taunted and humiliated by the Polish community of a town and Nazi soldiers, and made to strip before being pushed around.
flashing/flickering lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
additional issues
There is strong language ('f**k', 'motherf**ker'). There are demonstrations of antisemitic attitudes and behaviour, including the terrorising and humiliating of Jews, with cruel jokes being made about concentration camps and ovens, and terms such as 'kike' being used. There are brief documentary Holocaust images, including real dead bodies. Racism is also expressed in the use of terms such as 'n****r'. Strong violence includes shootings in an execution context and a large crowd of people being herded into a barn and locked inside before it is set on fire; there is no detail of their pain and suffering, but charred bodies are subsequently shown being cleared from the remains of the barn. There is strong threat. There is a brief suicide scene. There is strong sex and sexualised nudity. Drug misuse includes the snorting of cocaine. There are disturbing images of animal slaughter and butchery.
