Several long scenes of graphic sexuality.

Jude and his first wife Arabella have sex in a fairly prolonged scene; nudity is not shown, but there is some thrusting and she bites his bare chest.

A later scene begins as Jude and Arabella are finishing having sex. Her breasts are shown for a period of time as she lies on the bed talking to him.

Kate Winslet removes her dress and becomes completely naked. She lies on the bed where her breasts and pubic hair are clearly visible. She then starts to talk while Jude becomes naked himself and joins her on bed. His buttocks are visible. He places his mouth on each of her breasts as they begin to make love.

In several scenes breasts are shown.

There is a slightly graphic scene of a pig being slaughtered.

There is a scene of Sue (Kate Winslet) giving birth to her first child which shows a shot of the baby's head breaching. There is some blood, and she is yelling in pain. Jude gets his son to watch her giving birth, though it is unclear whether or not the boy is disturbed by it.

Jude is seen drinking heavily with his fellow stonemasons.

Sue is often seen smoking.
