Sex & Nudity
-
- A boy looks at a statue (which appears other places in the film) of a woman nude from the waist up. He fantasizes that it comes alive and beckons to him.
- Two scenes involving sexual play between a man and a woman, filmed without nudity, but explicit.
- A brief view, from a distance, of a portion of a boy's bare buttocks.
- A brief view, in a dream sequence, of women's bare breasts, but the women are moving so quickly that the exposure is hardly perceptible.
- Some explicit sexual touching, fully clothed.
Violence & Gore
-
- Several characters suffer sickness and die in the film. There are two scenes which involve flagellation to the point of blood-letting, although in neither does the camera show the actual blows explicitly. A character is brutally caned by a man on charges of "lying about him". A man, severely burnt in a fire, is shown badly charred, for a moment. There are a few incidental slaps, and one very brief scuffle between two men, in which no one is injured.
Profanity
-
- One scene has a boy (Alexander) swearing under his breath, this includes c*ck, sh*t, p*ssy, and c*nt.
- English subtitles suggest that there are a number of lines of dialogue which contain words considered obscene in the Swedish language; however, this is confined to a few scenes only.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- People consume alcoholic beverages and enjoy smoking cigars and pipes freely throughout. Several scenes depict men who are intoxicated by too much drink.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The story involves ghosts and supernatural occurrences, some of which may startle or frighten; there is a particularly intense scene depicting the corporal punishment of a young boy which is likely to disturb, and possibly frighten.

Frightening & Intense Scenes
- Some scenes in Act 2, concerning the sudden death of Alexander's father and Emilie's grief over him are likely to be disturbing. The dead man's occasional appearances as a wraith later in the story are never frightening though; he simply appears as the good-natured, slightly melancholic man he was in life.
