Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.

Sex & Nudity

Many explicit sex scenes are depicted. A private party has several moments involving orgy scenes - including continuous full-frontal female nudity shown throughout including several other instances of naked men - and other strong sex scenes involving male/female and female/female that include rough sex and thrusting.

There are other bits depicting full-frontal female nudity and full-frontal male nudity.

A store owner's (minor) child is prostituted out to older men (no nudity, but sex is strongly suggested).

A man hires a prostitute.

A woman undresses to the song "They Did A Bad Bad Thing." Full-frontal nudity is shown.

The film is very sexual and intended for mature, adult audiences only.

Violence & Gore

A gang throws a man against the hood of a car. They also call him names and begin to threaten him.

Profanity

Many uses of the f-word, and other profanities, references to masturbation.

Two characters smoke pot.

Two men drink in a bar.

A woman dies of a drug overdose.

Refrences to heroin and cocaine.

The film is designed to be viewed by adults only, not only because of the sex scenes, but because of the philosophical meaning and complexity behind the film.

Most of the film has a mysterious, surreal atmosphere accompanied by a creepy piano score.
