Contains very strong war violence and acts of terrorism. Close ups of bloody wounds, off and on screen headshots.
A man's head is decapitated and spiked with his genitals in his mouth. The head is seen for 5 seconds in a prolonged closeup.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Severe

Almost the whole movie is intense and confronting. Acts of war violence by the Dutch and Indonesian are painful to watch. The story is a never been showed black page in the Dutch colonial history.
