Sex & Nudity

  • Scenes of full frontal female nudity where EVERYTHING can be seen and this happens throughout the film. No vaginal closeups and female crotch area tends to be hairy. One scene of full frontal male nudity for a few seconds.
  • Surreal montages of fully naked women groping and writhing against each other.
  • Boobs, buns and bushes abound, though mostly in glimpses and revelry. Very little boinking. Romping with little or no clothing is just the way they party. No obvious implants, for those keeping tabs on how much original equipment is shown. The rest of the skin appears in the perverse death scenes arranged by the serial killer in the running subplot.

Violence & Gore

  • Infrequent but strong bloody violence here and there. Most of it is contained to blades or fist fights.
  • During a bar fight, a man slashes several men's throats and stabs one repeatedly to death. Blood sprays everywhere and he even drinks some of it as it sprays into his mouth.
  • A man is beaten repeatedly by another man and has his face scarred with a knife in a side street.
  • A few prostitutes are tied naked to train tracks (in different exploitative poses) and run over by trains as a sadistic killer watches with pleasure.
  • While walking home at night, a group of gangsters and prostitutes encounter a rival gang and initiate a gun fight, but the camera pans away as soon as the shooting starts.

Profanity

  • Frequent cursing in almost every scene, including 'fuck', 'shit', 'cunt', 'bitch', etc. A girl repeatedly calls a man a 'faggot'.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Drinking, smoking and inhalation of narcotics throughout the film.
  • Most of the cast is coked up most of the time, with side orders of booze.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The whole film is melancholic and at times darkly comical. It has a surreal atmosphere like that of an urban fairytale and almost every character is presented as filthy and immoral.
  • The rape scenes are unpleasant to watch.

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Sex & Nudity

  • A girl is raped twice, once after being spanked with a laptop until it breaks. In the other scene, the same man rapes her after he stabs her in the leg.
  • In the opening scene of the movie, the serial killer, disguised as a cop, pulls a fully naked young woman out of his car before tieing her up to a train track. He masturbates over her and cums on her. The cumshot covers her entire body and remains on her until a train runs over her. Very disgusting and not intended to be erotic.

Violence & Gore

  • One of the prostitutes dies from bullet wounds. After a doctor vainly attempts to remove the bullets, which causes a pool of blood to drip from her wounds, she gasps and cries as the life from her slowly ebbs away. Quite emotional.
  • An old woman poisons three gangsters. Later, she and her brother are poisoned themselves. The serial killer is also poisoned at the end of the film. All of these scenes are presented as darkly comical than serious.
  • A young prostitute is tricked by her friend into posing naked with a 'fake' gun in her mouth for a photo, only for the gun to be a real one, causing her to shoot herself through the brain. She slumps onto the table in front of her, blood pouring out of her wound with her eyes wide open.
  • A gangster repeatedly kicks a homeless boy to death, eventually snapping the kid's neck. He then kicks the boy's dog over a fence, before stumbling backwards himself into the path of truck, which instantly kills him.
  • The young madam suffers a bullet wound that makes her lame in one leg, causing her to walk with a cane for the second half of the film.
  • A young man commits suicide off-screen after coming across the body of his lover. He shoots himself in the head but the action happens off-screen.
  • A gangster physically and sexually abuses his lover at different points in the film, from beating her to raping her on-screen.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • A man is killed by another man through a forced overdose at gunpoint.
