rude humour
In one scene, Marcel points to what appear to be pubic hairs around a plughole and explains how strong and curly they are. Other rude humour includes scenes in which Marcel vomits as a result of car sickness.
drugs
An internet meme includes a caption referencing marijuana ('Kush'). There are no accompanying verbal references to drug taking, however.
theme
A flashback sequence depicts Marcel being separated from his family of mollusks after they are carried away with a man's belongings. The family had taken refuge in a sock drawer after they heard a couple arguing. We hear something being smashed and raised voices while a point-of-view shot implies the family huddled together in the drawer. Other upsetting scenes deal with illness and bereavement. It is implied that Marcel's grandmother is suffering from a disease causing memory loss and fatigue. In a later scene, Marcel finds his grandmother unresponsive, having passed away off-screen, leading to scenes of emotional upset.
additional issues
Bad language is very mild ('God'). There are very mild sex references, mostly in the form of song lyrics.
