About 30 mins in, a scene is presented at first as sexual violence/attempted rape against the female protagonist, but it turns out to be a consensual rape-fantasy, with a safe word, that the protagonist initiated and laid out the rules for in advance. However, because the film is told out of chronological order, we do not see that consent conversation until after the rape-fantasy is shown on screen. The rape-fantasy consists of the protagonist being handcuffed to a bed, choked, slapped, yelled at, and insulted. No nudity or genitalia are present, but the implication is that the character the man is playing will rape her, before she says the safe word. While the initial implication of the simulated consensual rapeplay is that the male lead is the assailant, this is quickly reversed and it turns out the female is actually a notorious serial killer who utilize sexual violence. She drugs him without consent, then ties him down and straddles him to enact extended physical violence before attempting to murder him. The film relies on preconceived gender roles and a disconnected narrative to intentionally mislead the audience about perpetrator and victim. Near the end of the film, two minor characters discuss a crime scene, and the assumption that the man could not have been the victim is stated, based on gender expectations.
