Sex & Nudity

Woman's nude body is shown during a doctor's examination. A couple have sex - the man blindfolds her, and thrusts from behind. A nun is raped - her full frontal nudity is shown, as well as the buttocks of the rapists. It is implied later that she was raped with a crucifix. A man appears in a full frontal nude scene for aobut 30 seconds. Later, two girls mime oral sex while he masturbates. This scene contains extremely graphic dialogue, and goes on for quite some time until he climaxes.

Violence & Gore

Not very much violence but the rape scene is quite brutal.

Profanity

Vulgar language right through including several scenes where especially "fuck" are volved in long sentences.

Much drug use is shown, including heroin and other illegal substances. These scenes are prolonged and frequent.

There is a disturbing scene where a nun is raped. The overall tone of the film is dark and gritty.
