I really need some help (Parental Guide)


My auntie's asked if I want to go and see this with her - but the thing is I have one major problem: I find it really difficult to watch films with any sex scenes with family members. I just get majorly uncomfortable and embarrassed and it just ruins the whole experience for me.

So far, IMDB hasn't published any kind of Parental Guide like they usually do, otherwise I'd check that. So is there anyone out there who's already seen this, who can give me a guide to any sex scenes there might be in this?

And before anyone starts - I'm not some perv looking for details, nor do I need telling to "grow a pair." I'm well aware that it's weird I feel this uncomfortable - my family's just kind of conservative, and this is rated R so I figured there's got to be a sex scene or two in there somewhere.

I would say you should be safe.

There is a sex scene but it's not erotic, not explicit.

If I try to remember being a teenager, the scenes that made me uncomfortable with my parents were drawn out, steamy sex scenes because they're kind of hot and sexy -- things I'd want to watch in private.

This film has a very brief moment which is not arousing in the slightest, more sad than anything else, and it shows no real nudity.

There is also another scene at a brothel where he's in a room with a prostitute and wants to draw her, and there's brief flashes of a derriere but nothing else.

I'd put it on the lines of something like Amadeus in terms sexuality/nudity. Even the 1968 Romeo and Juliet was probably a bit more uncomfortable to watch with parents at that age than this one.
