Sex & Nudity
-
- At a wedding, the groom brings cases of beer to the men. They soon are drunk, and begin singing a sexual song, about a lover who creeps through a woman's window, and creeps and crawls over her (sex), thrusting and she moaning. Than 40 weeks later "the baby comes brawling, I don't regret that creeping and crawling". Appalled by the men's contempt for them and their relevance that they see woman as sexual toys for men's enjoyment, the women leave.
- Frank swims naked. Nothing explicit.
- Frank grabs Bathsheba's crotch after cutting her hair with his sword, below camera level. She likes it and moans.
- Frank and Bathsheba have wedding night sex, fully clothed, darkly lit, short scene.
- On the digital-versatile-disc (DVD) of this film, there is a quick glimpse of a naked man's genitalia, with his back facing the camera, in the extra features/bonus materials section.
Violence & Gore
-
- One woman, pregnant, goes into labor. Her casket is rolled through town. On it, "_________ and Child". The woman receives the casket and lights candles around it. Her longsuffering lover wipes the chalk reading "and Child" off the casket. She, grieving for herself, her loss of thyme and her abusive marriage to a cad, prys open the casket. She is shocked as she sees the woman laying in the casket with her newborn baby.
- In the scene with the sheep being herded to the cliffs by the dog, the farmer reaches them just too late and watches them plunge to the beach below. He screams and shows him pointing the gun sideways to presumably shoot the dog. The dog dying is not shown, but you do hear a thud as it hits the ground.
- In addition, the film contains a brief scene of violence depicting a man being shot dead.
- In another scene which may be disturbing for younger viewers, a sheep that is chased by a dog, falls to its death as it plunges from a cliff. This is followed by a scene depicting a beach that is lined with dead sheep.
