NOTE: Several of the items in this post are explicit and not safe for work.
Promotion for Lars von Trier‘s Nymphomaniac, which will be released domestically beginning March 21 as Nymphomaniac: Part I and Nymphomaniac: Part II, has been steady and explicit and today is no different, though today I have a whole heap of new content to share.
First is a new clip from the film, described as follows:
Chapter 7: The Mirror
The image you see in a mirror will at first glance seem like an exact replica of the object you’re looking at. However, this is in fact false, as the object will always be a mirrored, and thus flawed, version of the original object.
Joe tries to rid herself of her sexuality.
The clip featured Charlotte Gainsbourg as the film’s central character, Joe, a self-diagnosed nymphomaniac who is discovered badly beaten in an alley by an older bachelor, Seligman (Stellan SkarsgÃ¥rd), who takes her into his home. As he tends to her wounds, she recounts the erotic story of her adolescence and young-adulthood (portrayed in flashback by Stacy Martin).
Additional members of the cast include Shia LaBeouf, Willem Dafoe, Uma Thurman, Christian Slater, Connie Nielsen and Jamie Bell, many of which are featured in the new pictures I’ve just added, ten of which can be found on the second page of this post.
However, before we get to that, following the clip, and right before the two new posters, is a song for the film sung by Gainsbourg, an accomplished singer in her own right, titled “Hey Joe” and it finds her teaming with Beck who wrote the majority of the tracks and produced her 2009 album “IRM“. Take a listen below.
Additionally, with the film hitting theaters in Denmark later this month, it has already screened for press and IndieWire has a write-up if you’re interested where he writes:
For starters, there’s sex on film and then there’s explicit sex on film – more often called porn. Except this is auteur porn and though there’s a lot of sex, there’s even more time dedicated to character, story and countless intellectual digressions. Not a lot of curious horndogs looking to get off on their favorite stars having explicit sex (via body doubles) are likely to sit through an arthouse film that’s at least double a regular feature’s length. Or are they?
Nymphomaniac, an epic and explicit exploration of a woman’s life and lovers over five decades, is indeed really long — so long, in fact, that it’s been divided into two parts, made up of a total of eight chapters, with immediate stiffy-inducing titles such as “The Eastern and the Western Church.” Only von Trier could try to make such disparate elements come together meaningfully in a single film.
Get the rest here and enjoy the rest of what this post has to offer directly below and on the next page.
