There is no nudity or sexually active scenes in this movie. There are sexual themes and references. One of the root characters in the early part of the film is a woman who resorts to prostitution. There are references of her getting involved with men. There is a scene where there are many prostitutes waiting on the street and this character gets harassed and attacked with snow. She also gets hit by the police. There is a scene where you see the same woman who is now ill and offering herself to a man (for rent payment) by moving covers away from her showing her in her underwear (but he refuses). Many of the prostitutes wear low cut dresses displaying cleavage. A woman says it costs 1 frank to get in bed with her and because she is sick he implies that it would be like having sex with a corpse. Many of the prostitutes flirt with the men.

There is very little blood in the movie, some slaps and hits and some war related shooting. For a short part of the film there is a revolutionary uprising that takes place and some minor battle sequences are portrayed related to this, which involves some people being shot at a distance. One child ventures out to collect items from dead soldiers and is shot. One character dies of an illness. One character kills himself by jumping into a river.

Many uses of the word whore, prostitute, slut, and bastard. As men are harassing a prostitute on the street, the phrase "lets give her tits a little color" is used as the man grabs a womans nipples, which is seen from a distance.

Drinking is shown throughout and a few drunk people.

Several incidents of assault and hitting, some against women, there is a scene where characters are running away from the police jumping from a roof and climbing a wall. Some child peril.
