violence
A person is stabbed in the neck with a dagger, resulting in moderate bloody aftermath detail. Further violence includes a sustained and moderately bloody sword fight scene, in addition to gunfire, crunchy blows and beatings, and brief sequences of choking. In flashbacks, a woman rescues a newborn baby after witnessing the father bury the infant alive in a chest. A hunting scene features brief images of a small amount of blood on the fur of an injured deer, which is then killed with a knife below frame.
threat and horror
There are scenes of moderate threat and suspense, including threat with guns and bladed weapons. An action scene depicts a man rescuing a woman from drowning in a stormy sea.
sex
The film contains infrequent mild sex references, including ones to a man having had a ‘bastard’ with his ‘mistress’.
discrimination
Brief scenes of historical racism contain references to slavery and use of outdated and discriminatory terms such as ‘negroes’ and ‘savages’. Such attitudes and behaviour are implicitly condemned by the film.
drugs
A man claims to have smoked opium in a successful attempt to open his mind to psychic visions. However, the audience is aware that his story is an invention.
injury detail
There is moderate bloody injury detail in the context of violence, as well as brief images of hanging bodies in the aftermath of an off-screen execution.
suicide and self-harm
We are told that a grieving man starved himself to death off screen.
sexual violence and sexual threat
It is strongly implied, though never explicitly stated, that a kidnapped woman was forced into sexual slavery off screen.
theme
There are occasional scenes of emotional distress and bereavement. An upsetting montage shows a prisoner talking to himself and striking his head against the wall of his cell as his mental health declines due to years in solitary confinement.
