Why R?
Why is this movie rated R?
How much( if any) violence, language, or sexuality/nudity is there within it?
Thank You
Violence, a fair bit, although there's no gore or blood. At least fifty people die or get killed by sword's point or pistol shot.
Language, almost none, since I don't believe there's an English dub. There's some cussing in French, but the translations don't use any bad words.
Sexuality, a bit. The principal villians sleep together (more or less clothed), and Louis XIV cavorts clothed with a naked mistress, and the film says he's only sixteen.
Nudity some. Sophie Marceau appears naked to the waist at one point, and Louis XIV's bedmate appears totally nude.
