Sex & Nudity

  • One of the opening scenes is a prolonged shot of a male voyeuristically photographing intercourse; the woman seems to be fully nude and breasts are visible, whilst the male bares no nudity and is only seen thrusting.
  • A woman is searched at an airport, there's shots of her upper half in underwear followed by a shot of her lower half in underwear. The female who works for security insists on searching her underwear to which Martine replies 'Be my Guest'
  • The opening scene includes a long tracking shot of a woman wading through the ocean in only the bottom of her bikini, at points we briefly see her bare breasts and then we cut to a shot from behind giving us a reaction shot of a male and female who are both staring at the semi naked woman. The man reaches at the bottoms of the female and jokingly pulls them down a little.
  • In a debrief of a character whom is crucial to the plot there's a short montage of sorts which again recounts the sex scene from the opening with slightly more detail
  • A woman and man enter a room and passionately kiss. The woman removes her underwear and the man's shirt before he takes off her dress. Her breasts are visible for a moment and the her thighs are shown briefly.
