A sick and elderly woman is seen being bathed by a nurse. You can briefly see the woman's breasts.

A man helps his sick wife exercise; bare thighs are seen.

A woman tells her father that when she was little, she could hear her father and mother making love.

An elderly woman takes a few falls in her time of illness, and although we never actually see her fall, we do see her on the floor once or twice, trying to recover. Her husband tries to help her walk again; these scenes are slow and painful to watch, as it is very clear to see how much pain it causes them both.

In an impulsive moment of frustration, a man slaps his elderly and sickly wife.

One f-word, one use of "prick", one use of "damn", and one use of "hell".

A man smokes a cigarette twice very briefly, and we see bottles and glasses of wine at a few points; no one is ever inebriated.

An ill, elderly woman's moments of senseless, yet eerie moaning are hard to watch.

A main character has a nightmare where a man comes up from behind him in the dark and grabs him.

Amour is extremely emotional and hard to watch at times. An elderly main character is, throughout the film, extremely and increasingly sick and her near-vegitative state causes her to helplessly moan; she is bed-ridden and cannot function, causing a nurse and her husband to help her. Very depressing discussions regarding assisted suicide and death are prominent throughout the film.
