The above comment is not about genital mutilation and there is none in the film. I doubt that comment would have been added were the victim female

1:18:30 (1 hour 18 minutes and 30 seconds).
The scene is a hard cut to a door opening, with the deceased man centered in the frame.

When the teacher and Eva are driving in the carriage the camera is really shaky. And if you’re sensitive to motion, earlier in the film the camera follows the same couple as they’re dancing in circles.

Sad and/or inconclusive. The mysteries are not solved, and the narrator leaves the village post war. Things end fairly well for the narrator/teacher himself, though.

No, but a child is attacked and thrown into a pond. The child doesn't move for a few moments. It might be triggering to those who fear drowning.
