Blonde Betty Elms has only just arrived in Hollywood to become a movie star when she meets an enigmatic brunette with amnesia. Meanwhile, as the two set off to solve the second woman's identity, filmmaker Adam Kesher runs into ominous trouble while casting his latest project.
This movie contains 42 potentially triggering events.
There is a first person sight of someone facing a pillow, as if going to sleep, near the beginning. Around this point, some have suggested a snorting sound similar to insufflating cocaine can be heard. No explicit use of drugs, but there is a main character who appears very strung out.
A woman with bruises gets slapped on the rear with no consent.
A different woman is involved in a kissing and groping scene in which the context of the scene feels coerced; although her body language seems enthusiastic, no verbal affirmative consent is exchanged in this or any other sex scene she is involved in.
After two men walk out of a diner near the beginning. You can tell one will happen, but it is still very startling. About 16:39 timestamp if you're watching it on Youtube.
This movie is tagged with a self-harm warning on streaming, but unless you count the su*c*de scene, there is no self-harm shown. Unsure where this comes from.
A little bit after the one hour mark, when a character goes to meet with a cowboy, a lightbulb flickers. Also, around 2 hours and 20 minutes in, there are flashing lights similar to a thunderstorm.
The "Club Silencio" sequence involves postulating the unreality of recorded media in a similar way to the artwork "La Trahison des images/The Treachery of Images". There are no deliberate fourth wall breaks, but it is recommended not to watch this film in an existentially delicate state of mind.
There is a very awkward scene between a young ingenue actress auditioning with an established actor in which body language suggests the actress feels compelled to go along with unwanted touching.
