On the contrary, he is delighted by it, and seems delighted by the opportunity to talk about all of these important matters in an in-depth spit-balling kind of way. He is not freaked out by what Joe tells him. Occasionally, we go back to the bedroom with Seligman and Joe, when he interrupts her to ask a question about what she just said, or he interrupts to go off on his own
Uses it unabashedly.The film is broken up into titled-sections, each with their own narrative thru-line and tone. It's a blatant theatrical device, an artificial framing, and von Trier There's something almost unfinished about Joe, a flat affect, as she insists that her behavior has been beyond-the-pale. He thinks she may be being too hard on herself. He assures her that nothing she tells him will shock him. She warns him up front that it will not be a nice story, that she is a bad person. He is a complete stranger and he asks what happened. Seligman takes her in, tucks her in bed, and gives her tea. It's something I never asked for."Ĭharlotte Gainsbourg plays the androgynously named Joe, who, at the opening of Volume I, is discovered lying bruised and battered in a dark alley by Seligman ( Stellan Skarsgård). Similar to " Melancholia," von Trier's masterful examination of depression, and how it feels like an outside force working on those who suffer from it, "Nymphomaniac" (which will be released in multiple volumes) sees sex through the eyes of a damaged woman who has made it her mission in life to remove sex from our It features of a lot of what looks like actual sex (although we are told in the end credits that the penetrative sex depicted was done by body doubles), and while it is obviously interested in sex, it is more interested in how we talk about sex, how we incorporate it into our identity (or don't). It's outrageous and provocative, intellectual and primal at sometimes the same time. The best part of Lars von Trier's fascinating, engaging and often didactic "Nymphomaniac" is that, despite the sometimes-grim tone and bleak color palate, it's an extremely funny film, playful, even. Unlike a sneeze, sex carries lifetimes of associations with it, and yet naked writhing bodies onscreen often flatten out into a general cliche representing a hazy idea of the act. It's like getting philosophical about a sneeze. We all may do it, but how do you put it onscreen in a way that is representative of the mess/humor/actuality of it? How do you represent sex and also incorporate emotion? Human beings are often very silly about sex, especially when they get too philosophical about it. Sex may be "natural" and "good" (according to George Michael), but seeing sex onscreen (either actual or simulated) is often a game-changer. The poster was eye-catching and funny, private and exhibitionistic at the same time. The first poster released for Lars von Trier's "Nymphomaniac" had a Brady-Bunch structure, with images of all the main actors stacked on top of one another, each individual lost in the exact moment of sexual climax.
