Movie Parental Guide

nudity A man goes into an early brothel. A woman removes her top, fully revealing her breasts. A young boy (about 3 or 4) is shown being bathed in a trough. His genitals are shown. The main character undergoes a physical and is asked to walk around in the nude. His bare buttocks are shown and midsection is shown from the side. A towel is being held to hide his genitals. A woman gets out of bed, her thighs are seen. She gets into bed with her husband and they lie down together. Sex is implied.
violence There is a scene in which an ox is killed and gutted. There is disturbing scene where Sioux indians raid the Swedish settlement. The scene is very reminicent of Cannibal Holocaust. It culminates with a indian man watching a pregnant and pouring milk on his own naked belly before cutting the woman in the head with a stone axe. His friend then cuts up the woman's stomach. This is not shown but then we see the almost completley developed baby having been impaled thorugh the anus with a stick and placed outside the house with it's umbilical cord wrapped around it.
profanity A few profane words are shown in English subtitles. The majority of the film is spoken in Swedish and would only be known to those understanding the language.
frightening The scene where the ox gets killed and cut open is disgusting and shocking. The scenes with the indians. Very disturbing. Some might take offence of how they are portraied.
