language
There is frequent use of strong language (‘f**k’, ‘motherf**ker’). Milder terms include ‘shit’, ‘bullshit’, ‘balls’, ‘bollocks’, ‘bloody’, ‘ass’, ‘asshole’, ‘piss’, ‘crap’ and ‘screw’, in addition to use of the ‘middle finger’ gesture.
flashing/flickering lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
additional issues
There are occasional moderate sex references and innuendo, including footage of a band member performing on stage while wearing a bondage harness and playing his guitar with a vibrator. A poster of a topless woman with partially blurred-out breast nudity is briefly visible on a wall in the background of a scene, and there is also infrequent full-frontal male nudity in a non-sexual context. There are infrequent moderate references to drugs. Other issues include a brief sequence of mild real violence, without visible injuries, and mild undetailed references to a band member’s father having been imprisoned in Auschwitz as a teenager.
