Sex & Nudity

  • There's a scene between a man and woman in bed; they make out and plead that when the other person dies, that they'll follow them not feeling the loneliness of death. The man remarks feeling of being inside her lover's flesh and not just being a "beautiful spirit".
  • Cheng takes a shower; nothing explicit. She's only seen from the shoulders upward. Another time, the shot is seen from behind her bare back.
  • A woman goes to his boyfriend's apartment, where they excitedly rush into the bedroom - carrying the girl over his shoulders. They then disrobe their underwear, still clothed. Song Yu undoes his pants belt and then places himself over her crotch, where they copulate. This lasts about twenty seconds; nothing explicit is shown. They're later seen swinging around before dropping to the floor, tackling each other playfully.
  • The same man briefly reaches inside his lover's unbuttoned vest to clench her breast; no explicitness, but it's rather implied.
  • Cheng removes her coat for Song and she sits on the floor, clothed. The two then get together on the ground, admiring at each other. They then proceed to make out; Song going down from Cheng's neck to chest and then back to her neck. She then slaps him off.
  • A woman has a hallucination and then forcefully makes out with the man; she moans profusely. The two are clothed, so there's no nudity or explicitness.
  • Wah-Lei tearfully reconciles with Song Yu; she takes off her blouse, exposing her breasts. This is only kind of nudity in the whole film. The two momentarily make out.

Violence & Gore

  • A hallucination involves one of the characters, Cheng, being strangled.
  • A brief reference to decapitation.
  • The ghost of the girl commits suicide with a dagger; this is not shown, but rather implied. Her body is then carried away.

Profanity

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • A father smokes through his pipe.
  • At the supermarket, Cheng loads a shopping cart full of liquor from offscreen. Back at home, a shot glass is briefly drunken by Song.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The hallucinations may be a little frightening.
  • Cheng virtually gets into a car accident from hallucinations of being strangled.
  • Wah-Lei breaks down into tears after finding out that her boyfriend, Song, been cheating for Cheng. The next day out by a boat dock, she cuts all ties with Song. She later reconciles with Song, tearfully.
  • The ending is quite sentimental.

Violence & Gore

  • Blood can be seen running down a necklace. We find out that the girl slits her throat with a dagger - blood pours down her neck and oozes down her hand - and lays on top of the statue, drawing a lot of blood on it.
  • Wah-Lei emerges from the apartment in a bloody bathrobe with slit wrists. She collapses onto the floor and dies from the apparent suicide.
  • It's implied that in a flashback, the ghost of the man is cut up into pieces, mixed into clay and made into a statue.

Frightening & Intense Scenes
