Sex & Nudity

There is one simulated rape that takes place during the filming of a movie.

There's an attempted rape scene but nothing explict.

A woman gets naked while the photographer takes pictures of her. Not sexual but it's pretty graphic.

You see pictures of a naked woman in a magazine. Not sexual but graphic.

You see a woman in the bathtub, but nothing is shown.

You see a dead, bloody body of a naked woman that's being filmed for a show.

Also when a man gets killed, you see brief shots of a naked woman. Not sexual but graphic. Most nude scenes are fully frontal.

Violence & Gore

There's a scene when a man is brutally murdered in an elevator with his eyes poked out.

Some scenes of dead, bloody bodies, but for a show.

A man punches another man in the face during Cham's concert at the beginning of the movie.

A man has been stabbed many, many times. He gets stabbed in the eye, the hand, the stomach, the crotch and more.

A man is brutally killed, with his eyes poked out, while his phone rings.

A woman gets stabbed by an umbrella and an ice pick.

A woman gets stabbed in the stomach with glass.

A man gets knocked out (or maybe killed) while a woman hits him in the head with a hammer.

There's an act going on and the Powertrons use their guns at Kingberg.

There's violence of a manager hitting some guys at a strip club and he falls down and a woman falls while being grabbed by the ankles, for a show.

Profanity

There are some uses of the "f" word, "asshole" "God dammit", "hell" and more.

Some of the characters smoke. One of the scenes does take place in a bar where men are drinking alcohol.

Perfect Blue is a very disturbing and intense movie. There is a simulated rape that will still be found disturbing by some. The aftermaths of the murders will frighten people, and the one shown murder is very intense.

The ending will definitely qualify as frightening, disturbing, and very intense as well.
