violence
There are frequent scenes of strong bloody violence, including stabbings and decapitations. A man is repeatedly head-butted. In another scene, a man is stabbed through the nose in profile. Gore includes sight of a man falling to the ground with organs spilling from an open wound, and the brief image of the mutilated bodies of two men pinned to a hut. There are scenes in which children are killed, the implied killing of a dog, and the decapitation of a horse.
sex
There are scenes of sex that feature buttock nudity and thrusting detail, and occasional sex references.
sexual violence and sexual threat
There are brief moments of sexual violence including sight of women being pinned to the ground and women being chased and grabbed by men. There are also verbal references to rape. In one scene, a woman reveals her vulva - which is stained with menstrual blood - in order to deter a man from raping her. There is also a brief scene in which a woman makes unwanted sexual advances towards her adult son who quickly condemns her behaviour.
nudity
