Alas, Lee would have benefited by showing more lust and less caution.

Common Sense Says

Explicit, subtitled WWII drama is for adults only.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that this subtitled, explicitly sexual World War II film is absolutely not for kids. It features several extremely graphic sex scenes (full frontal nudity, aggressive and sweaty activity in acrobatic positions, violence that borders on rape, and more), as well as other brief nudity, kissing, or awkward fumbling. Non-sexual violence includes brief combat scenes, bloody bodies in the street, explosions, shooting, an ugly stabbing scene, and an execution. Frequent cigarette smoking and drinking; language (in subtitles) includes one use of "f--k."
