SEX/NUDITY 7 - Some instances of sexual innuendo, including a reference to incest. A young man and woman kiss passionately and a man kisses another man on the cheek. We see a married couple having sex (they're under the covers, but we see thrusting). In two scenes a dog tries to hump a girl's leg. A man grabs a woman's clothed buttocks. Several scenes in which people inspect and make fun of a boy's genitalia (which we never see). We see a naked man's bare backside, then see his nude torso from his pubic hair up as he bathes in a tub; also, we see a poster of a naked woman (full frontal nudity), several sketches of erect male genitalia, and a sculpture/cast of a woman's pelvic area, including close-ups of pubic hair and genitalia. We see a couple of shirtless men.

VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - A disturbing scene in which a man slaps, punches and altogether beats up his wife (we see her bruised face later). A man slaps another man repeatedly and a boy punches another in the face. An older boy gets circumcised and we hear him scream. A man threatens another with a knife. We see bloody cuts on a man's face after being beaten and cuts on a boy's face after he's been in a fight. A nude man urinates in a bath tub and then steps into the tub to bathe; we also see a few scenes in which young boys urinate.

LANGUAGE 7 - About 20 F-words, an obscene finger gesture, a couple of anatomical references, several scatological references, a few mild obscenities and several insults.
