There is a brief scene in which several young women dance in somewhat revealing outfits, although not in a sexually suggestive way.

A woman's cleavage is shown in several scenes, and in at least one case some of her bare upper back. The clothing she wears is designed in a way that somewhat obscures these areas.

A man is shown being attacked by a lion, although it's intentional since it's part of a circus act.

A few bodies are briefly shown throughout the film. It is sometimes described how they were killed, although not in an overly graphic way.

The main theme of the movie are the events of a woman leading up to her execution.
