WINGS OF DEATH is a drama concerning the final hours of a heroin addict.
WINGS OF DEATH is a drama concerning the final hours of a heroin addict.
sex
A clothed man briefly thrusts into a clothed woman from behind, accompanied by a line of men mimicking the man's thrusting movements.
drugs
A young man and woman briefly smoke heroin. However, the work as a whole deals with the pitiful life and ultimate death of a drug addict; drug misuse is therefore not condoned by the work as a whole.
injury detail
There is close-up sight of a dead man's blood-streaked body after his throat has been cut. There are stylised scenes in which a man removes the top of his head to expose his brain and examine the inside of his cranium, as well as a scene in which a man's fingers fall off.
additional issues
The film has a pervasively menacing tone as a dying young heroin addict hallucinates and recalls his past life, and which includes scenes in which he feels threatened. There is infrequent strong language ('f**k'). A man repeatedly breaks wind.
