Partial and somewhat obscured nudity from a distance throughout. Numerous glimpses of female buttocks and breasts. Not overly graphic or obscene but quite frequent.

It is implied that Faustus is continually engaging in sexual immorality, including fornication, adultery, and orgies. Very little of this is ever shown, however, and none of this is very graphic.

At one point, a demon transforms himself into a naked woman in order to seduce Faustus and stop him from repenting of his sins. Partial nudity is seen from the back, and Faustus and the demon then fondle each other, kiss, and embrace. It is implied Faustus then has sex with this demon.

While the sexual content is not very graphic and the nudity is brief and not explicit, sexual immorality is a key theme and presence throughout. Sexual intercourse, unnatural lusts, and hedonism take place and are discussed all throughout the film. However, this is all depicted and discussed in order to condemn such immoral behavior, and all sin is punished in the end.

There is some strong violence throughout, such as when Faustus is seen fighting in a battle and killing people. This only lasts about five seconds, but it is rather gory. It is made even more disturbing by how much Faustus appears to enjoy killing people and cutting them up.

A man slices open his own arm to commit his soul to Satan. There is a close-up of the arm being cut open and blood pouring out.

The scenes with demons and other infernal spirits are somewhat violent, but they are more scary than gory for the most part, with the one exception of the first scene.

When the demon first appears to Faustus, he is covered in maggots and rotting flesh. Very gory and extremely disturbing, though very brief.

Faustus approaches a series of naked women in order to have sex with them, but they suddenly melt and crumble into deformed hags. Their faces appear to have suffered severe burns and are scarred and contorted as a result. Sudden and gross albeit brief scene.

The ending is the most disturbing and violent scene in the film by far.

None whatsoever.

Faustus regularly indulges in excessive alcohol and drunkenness all throughout. This is part of the classic play, and it is not condoned but in fact very firmly condemned by the story as a whole. All immoral behavior in this film is meant to show how destructive it is.

The film is very frightening all throughout, especially the depiction of Faustus' punishment for his sin at the end of the movie.

Faustus summons a demon at the beginning in order to trade his soul for worldly pleasures. The scene is very ominous, and when the demon arrives, he is a skeleton covered in maggots and rotting flesh. Very sudden and disturbing.

Faustus slices open his arm and draws blood in order to sign his name and make his pact with Satan

Throughout the film/play, Faustus falls deeper and deeper into degeneracy and moral chaos. As he goes downhill more and more, the fear of his inevitable damnation into Hell is continually intensified. This is both frightening as well as depressing, seeing a man completely throw his life and soul away in exchange for worldly possessions and pleasures that never succeed in making him happy. Faustus at one point considers suicide but decides against it, realizing that this life is all the good he will ever experience.
