In the Shadow of Iris

One scene of consensual bondage and discipline sex shows a man who's bound with ropes into a curled-up position being whipped on the back by a paid dominatrix. A trickle of blood is briefly visible behind the man's ear; no other gore. He writhes in pain. A fight with slapping, hitting with a whip, choking, and a blow to the head with something heavy. A dead body is moved several times, buried, and dug up; the face is visible but no other gore. A kidnapping victim is tied to a chair and strung up by her bound wrists. A gun to the head, a gunshot heard off screen, and the body on the ground afterward with no gore. A slap to the face. Extortion with sexual threats implied and threats to kill.

One scene shows a paid dominatrix whipping a man who's tied up on the back and a kiss with tongue afterward. Graphic simulated sex scene with woman and man nude from behind and bare breasts briefly visible. Occasional kissing and caressing sometimes tied to violence, like a kiss over the body of someone just killed. A private club has pole dancers in lingerie and bondage-and-discipline masks, several women with bare breasts, and two women kissing. Sex acts mentioned like "suck a d--k," "finger in my ass," and a man who likes to have his "balls twisted when he comes." Adults wake up in bed together, the man is seen nude from behind, and woman's nudity is implied under the covers.

Translated from French: "damn it," "a--holes," "d--k," "ass," "balls," "whores," and "f--k."

Main characters sometimes smoke, frequent background smoking. Wine in glasses at a restaurant. Two adults say they got drunk and had sex but it's "not a big deal."
