Sex & Nudity

  • A women lies on the floor, with a wet shirt that clearly show her nipples, and is fairly extensive scene, shown from different angles.
  • A woman removes her dress (no nudity is shown, she's wearing a gown as underwear) and climbs into bed with a man. Nothing more happens, just a very brief kiss and they lie together motionless, then the man gets up.
  • In another non-sexual scene a woman wears a sheer blouse.
  • A man walks around in a shirt and underwear.

Violence & Gore

  • A man locks a woman in a rocket, and launches it into space. We hear her screaming inside. The man tries to roll out of the way of the fire from the rocket, but his clothes catch alight and are charred in the next scene. The man is then seen with a large blister on his face.
  • A woman is shown to be cut and bleeding in many places from forcing her way through a thin metal door.

Profanity

  • Like with all Tarkovsky-movies, the profanity is very infrequent. Two uses of "hell".

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Characters smoke cigarettes and drink wine.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The ending is very creepy and haunting.
  • Several scenes in the film are creepy.
  • Very unsettling moments with no music but sounds and silence which heighten the fear factor.
  • The liquid oxygen scene (see Violence & Gore) is very prolonged and some viewers might find it disturbing.
  • Kelvin's early scenes on the station can be creepy due to the guests.

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Violence & Gore

  • We see the body of a person who committed suicide by drinking liquid oxygen. The face is frozen over, lips badly burnt, and blood trickles out of the nose and mouth. Later, the body comes back to life, with much agonizing and more blood coming out of the nose.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • When Kelvin appears on the station the two "guests" are very creepy. The girl is a lifeless mannequin looking woman and the dwarf's appearance is very sudden and shocking. Hair's first appearance is very unsettling as she lifelessely stares at Kris sleeping.
