Sex & Nudity

Mild
33 of 57 found this mild
The first scene depicts a few naked men from the back as they are bathing. Naked women are also visible, but only very brief glimpses of their buttocks at a distance.
A sex scene takes place about half way through the film. While it has no nudity and is seen from outside a window, its sexual content is quite clear, and the camera returns to the scene three times. We see a man disrobing a woman, we see her bare back, him grabbing her behind, some very obvious thrusting and moaning sounds.
At a party, a drunk guy repeatedly grabs a woman's breast, and then she pushes them to the ground.

There is a great deal of alcohol consumption at a ball. Some characters are seen drinking to excess.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Mild

Treachery and false accusations are a key themes in the play. Sometimes intense but never over-the-top.
A man is tricked into believing his fiancé had cheated on him, and he accuses her of adultery in a very emotionally intense scene.
