Actually, despite what the voting says, there is a scene at the end of which the inventor Rotwang seems to be doing something close to sexual assault to Maria, he tries to force himself upon her at any rate, please proceed with caution.

Yes! There is a repeated image around 1 hour 32 during the erotic dance of a bunch of eyes all crammed into the screen. It is horrifying. Then at 1 hour 40 there is a similar but not as bad shot with lots of heads and some eyes in the frame.

Several times. The very first shot has flashing images. The machine that transfers the image of a woman to a robot has electricity flashing over it. When the protagonist faints when he sees his father and the woman together there are flashing images and lights. When the heart machine is destroyed there are lots of flashing lights. Just before the city goes dark there are flashing lights.

Although there have been arguments made that Rotwang the scientist is a dog-whistle depiction of a Jewish man during the time the film was produced, there is nothing explicitly antisemitic. In addition, the director Fritz Lang was Jewish and left Germany in 1933.

No explicit nudity but at the start in the pleasure garden you can clearly see a woman's breasts through her lace top. Later a woman does a erotic dance wearing very little. There appears to be a naked woman in a tube but metal slats hide anything from view.
