Wide Sargasso Sea
Movie • 1993 • Drama
ReportSynopsis
In the wake of Jamaican emancipation, French colonist Annette Cosway falls into poverty and marries racist Englishman Paul Mason. But when Annette's young son dies in a fire started by former slaves, Mason flees to England, leaving his grief-stricken wife and her Creole daughter Antoinette behind. Soon Antoinette learns she must marry to claim her inheritance and sets her sights on Rochester, an Englishman eerily similar to Mason.

What seems to be a dead bird is briefly squeezed over a bowl to collect the blood. Later, people are shown plucking chickens.

Not technically a mental institution, but Antoinette's psychotic mother is kept secluded in a house, and Antoinette visits her a couple of times.

1. Antoinette is sleeping when Edward tears her clothing and starts having sex with her before she wakes up. They are married but she did not give consent in this specific instance.
2. Antoinette's mother is kissed (and implicitly possibly sexually assaulted) by a man. She is having a psychotic episode and thus cannot consent.
3. Antoinette gives Edward hallucinogenic drugs in order to coerce him into having sex with her.
4. Edward pins Antoinette to the ground and starts touching her genitals through her clothes without her consent.
