  • While a man is talking to a woman, his eyes wander down to her breasts.
  • There is some suspicion as to whether one of the main characters may be a pedophile.
  • Some of the newspaper clippings the main character uses to fill the broken windows in his car feature scantily-clad women. They are not shown close-up.

Violence & Gore

  • The plot revolves around the investigation of a young girl's murder. Her body is shown, with little blood.
  • A young girl's ball bounces against a man's car, and she gives him a strange and frightened look. He gets out of the car and we hear her scream. A bystander looks on with no reaction, and it is unclear what has happened between the man and the girl.
  • A man digs into his scalp with scissors, drawing blood. He cuts himself in several places while shaving his face and torso.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The main character suffers from severe mental illness, which is portrayed in a very unsettling way. His behavior is very erratic throughout the film, and may be difficult for some to understand. For example, he is afraid of mirrors and reflections, and smashes the windows of his car and fills the empty spaces with newspaper.
  • The main character hears voices which curse and belittle him. At one point he shakes and hits his head against a bookshelf to drives these voices out, frightening the people around him.
  • The climax is very intense and emotional.
