Queen Margot
 
I was originally drawn to this film because it won the Cannes Film Festival Grand Prix award a few years back, is set in 17th century France including in and around the Louvre, and the label warned of graphic sex and frontal nudity and depictions of many people dying in horrilbe ways. It turned out to be a fabulous historical epic about conflict between Protestants and Catholics. Highly recommended.

Plenty of that but maybe they felt they didn't need to warn about that. CAUTION: Turns out there's more male than female frontal nudity. This could make someone struggling with sexual preference issues uncomfortable.

Here's the Wiki article on the film (it really is a great film):

I watched this film in my French class at the U. Or should I say I watched part of it. I was the first of several people to walk out. It's interesting that the MPAA uses the term "graphic sex" and not "graphic rape."

I figured I could learn the language without watching women being ravished in the streets in the name of Protestantism.
