Sex & Nudity

  • A very brief shot of a woman covering her breasts with her hands, this is easily missed
  • At the beginning of the movie there is a montage of the owner of the hotel talking to his guest. Most of these scenes are just him talking but two of which show him sitting in bed with a elderly topless woman (breasts exposed), and the other shows him looking at himself in a mirror with a woman performing oral sex. While shown, The latter is obscured and not shown especially graphically.
  • A man sprays water on a naked man where his back and is upper part of his buttocks is shown. The frame last for only a couple of seconds.
  • A painting of two nude women kissing while holding each other's breasts and rubbing each other's genitals is shown. Breasts, nipples, and thick pubic hair are clearly seen. Their actual genitalia is also somewhat visible. Not overly graphic due to the painting's somewhat abstract nature. However the nudity is pretty clear and it is pretty evident what the women are doing. The painting is shown in multiple scenes.
  • A scene with black and white pin up photos of women in the background. Breasts and nipples are seen on all of them and some of them show the women's pubic hair. The photos are in the background of the scene, and relatively small, but they are in focus and pretty easy to see.
