(Extended Version) A woman can be seen kneeling in front of a man in the park. It is very dark and nothing is shown, though it is implied that they are engaging in oral sex.
In a brief scene (About 2 seconds), a man and a woman on a table appear to be having sex: they hold each other and her bare back and his bare shoulders are visible while people stand around them and watch (it appears to be a ritual of some sort).
We see a dead body on the floor in several scenes and although he is fully nude, a bright light shines on his genitals in such a way that nothing is discernable.
We see a fully nude man in several scenes for an extended period and his bare buttocks, legs, feet, back, chest and abdomen to the hip are visible. This is not sexual, but for religious purposes.
Prostitutes lean into car windows presumably propositioning the occupants and we see the women wearing revealing outfits that show legs to the thigh, cleavage and abdomens. This is very brief and not very noticable.
There are many scenes that show Renaissance paintings depicting naked people (both male and female), revealing bare breasts, buttocks and bare chests, as well as a few instances of depictions of nude cherubs that reveal bare buttocks and male genitals. This is not sexual in any way.
There are a few discussions of the meaning of symbols and their representations of the male sex organ and female womb.

A man practices corporal mortification in a few scenes that includes: tightening a cilice (a barbed metal strap) around one of his thighs; we see him remove it from one leg and see skin being tugged and blood seeping from the wounds, and see him strap it to the other leg and pulling to cause the hooks to dig into his skin and blood pours from the wounds. He is also seen whipping himself on the back with a knotted rope that may incorporate small hooks (the rope tears the skin on his back, we see it pull up and blood seeps from the open wounds).
In several scenes, we are shown the bloody body of a dead man: we see a bloody bullet hole in his abdomen and a pool of blood on the floor next to him, as well as a pentagram made out of blood on his chest.

We see a few sequences of battles where men on horseback ride into villages and battle with swords: we see a man stabbed through the chest and through his bed (we see the bloody sword push through the bottom of the bed), and we see a man tied to a stake and burning (he thrashes and smoke billows around him). We see what look like riot scenes where people fight in streets: a man is dragged by the arms and branded on the face with a hot iron, and another man is speared through the chest and lifted into the air (we see blood on his chest).
A man holds a gun to a man's head, punches another man in the face (he falls to the floor), and shoots at a man and a woman as they run away.
We see a car accident where a car crashes head on into a truck and we hear that a man, a woman and one child were killed. A man drives recklessly into oncoming traffic. A man and a woman speed away in a truck as another man shoots at them.

Seeing French police waiting for them at the American embassy, a woman rapidly drives in reverse through heavy traffic to elude them (barely making it between two trucks, with a side-view mirror being torn off in the process).
Odd-colored scenes throughout showing a very frightening car crash, a beating to the head, lots of blood throughout the film.
A man suffers from claustrophobia and we see him sweating and being very anxious in several scenes.
The ending of the film, especially on the Extended Cut, is Intense, Gripping, and Emotionally Startling, and Heartbreaking.
