| nudity |
In the opening scene, a man and woman are shown having sex with sounds and movement, though no nudity is shown. When they are interrupted, the woman's bare legs are shown as she puts on her dress. The interruption: a man threatening a woman with knife. She is in a nightgown like dress, and he is shirtless. This takes place in the brothel.
Prostitutes and a brothel are a constant presence throughout the film. The women are seen in nightgowns and revealing dress, and some of the men who are customers are seen flirting, and getting dressed after offscreen sex. One man is seen buckling his belt, another putting his boots on.
Some sexual dialogue is present including slang terms for genitalia and subtle references to masturbation. A prostitute offers the main character a "free one" and says that others of her trade have been giving his friends free ones too (the character declines). |
