Following

very strong language, strong violence

A writer who follows other people for inspiration finds himself becoming involved with a thief. The black and white filming style reduces the impact of the infrequent violence but the language is very strong.

violence
There are two notable scenes of violence. In one scene, a man is attacked with a hammer, which is used to smash his hand. While the blows are implied rather than shown, the scene has a sadistic tone. The other scene shows a fight in which a man is beaten, including with a piece of wood. Again, the scene is not particularly detailed but is intense.
language
There is infrequent use of very strong language ('c**t'), as well as more frequent use of strong language ('f**k').
sex
A couple are about to have sex, although no sex is shown. There are also some undetailed sexual references, including to voyeurism, and a scene in which a man sniffs women's underwear during a burglary.
discrimination

injury detail
There is sight of a bloody nose after a fight.
