CommentsContains scenes with Imitative Acts and Techniques.
The material contains complex and mature themes of philosophy dedication to ones craft, self centeredness, desperation, unrequited love, envy, regret and dissolution, dysfunctional family relationships, dreaming big, love, mental disorders, self doubt, forbidden love, cheating, having low esteem, loss by death, disappointment, alcoholism, broken dreams, suicide and being depressed. Themes are presented artistically and dramatically in a form of a classical drama with mellow dramatic tones. The film offers a prime example of recurring motives which has symbolic meaning as an example of classical drama. Complex and mature themes such as dysfunctional family relationships and infidelity and the development of plots and characters are likely to be confusing for cognitively immature children. However reasonable and cognitively mature viewers of 16 years and older will be able to recognise artistic and dramatic value of the film but children under 16 may find themes and certain elements to be morally harmful, misleading and confusing.
