Nymphomaniac – Volumes 1&2 (DVD)

By Leave a Comment

This is the Gone With The Wind of movies with ‘real’ sex in them, at least in terms of the fact that Nymphomaniac has roughly the same running time.

As you may have guessed though, in most ways they’re very different movies – in Gone With The Wind Scarlett O’Hara vows never to hungry again, while in Nymphomaniac Joe (Charlotte Gainsbourg) vows never to go without sex again. [Read more…]

New Nymphomaniac: Volume 1 Trailer – Is there more to Lars Von Trier’s movie than sex?

By Leave a Comment


After a lot of buzz and interest, it’s not too long now until audiences will get to take a look at Lars Von Trier’s Nymphomaniac, with the release of Part 1 of the two part film. While most people have concentrated on the success, the largely positive reviews have suggested there’s more to the movie than that, and this trailer gives us a feel for that, as it certainly doesn’t bother with any of the hardcore shots the movie contains.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The film is a wild and poetic story of a woman’s erotic journey from birth to the age of 50 as told by the main character, the self-diagnosed nymphomaniac, Joe (Charlotte Gainsbourg). On a cold winter’s evening the old, charming bachelor, Seligman (Stellan Skarsgard), finds Joe beaten up in an alley. He brings her home to his flat where he cares for her wounds while asking her about her life. He listens intently as Joe over the next 8 chapters recounts the lushly branched-out and multi-faceted story of her life, rich in associations and interjecting incidents.’

Shia LaBeouf, Jamie Bell, Christian Slater, Willem Dafoe, Uma Thurman, Connie Neilsen and Stacy Martin also star. It should arrive in the UK in March. [Read more…]

Nymphomaniac Trailer – Take a NSFW look at Shia LaBeouf, Jamie Bell & more in Lars Von Trier’s next

By Leave a Comment

nymphomaniac-poster2
For the first time in his career, Lars Von Trier has given up final cut for Nymphomaniac, largely because the version he’s happy with is 5 1/2 hours long, and even he realised that was never going to be commercially released. The last we heard there was talk of cutting it down to two 2-hour films, which is how it’ll apparently be coming (although there’s still a chance VOn Trier’s butt-numbing version will appear one day at festivals, apparently).

They’ve also dropped plans for hardcore and softcore versions, as there will now just be a the one with full-on sex, but distributors around the globe will be free to blur out whatever bits they reckon are two rude. We get a taste of that rudeness in the trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The film is a wild and poetic story of a woman’s erotic journey from birth to the age of 50 as told by the main character, the self-diagnosed nymphomaniac, Joe (Charlotte Gainsbourg).

Take a look at the new poster above and the rude trailer, but beware as it is indeed NSFW. [Read more…]

Shia LaBeouf, Jamie Bell & More Show Off Their Sex Faces In Nymphomanic Character Posters

By Leave a Comment

nymphomaniac-character-poster1-slide
The few clips we’ve had from Lars Von Trier’s Nymphomaniac have been fairly tame for a movie that’s said to be filled with sex, which will result in the director needing to edit both hardcore and softcore versions for different parts of the world.

Now things are getting a little sexier with 14 characters posters showing off the cast, and they all seem to be having a great time!

We’re still waiting to see how the sex works in the movie, as while Von Trier has said it will be real, there’s also been talk of some of the actors having their heads stitched onto body doubles digitally. So whether we will get to see the likes of Shia LaBeouf, Jamie Bell, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Willem Dafoe and Stellan Skarsgard really getting intimate on screen, we’ll have to wait and see.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The film is a wild and poetic story of a woman’s erotic journey from birth to the age of 50 as told by the main character, the self-diagnosed nymphomaniac, Joe (Gainsbourg). On a cold winter’s evening the old, charming bachelor, Seligman (Skarsgard), finds Joe beaten up in an alley. He brings her home to his flat where he cares for her wounds while asking her about her life. He listens intently as Joe over the next 8 chapters recounts the lushly branched-out and multi-faceted story of her life, rich in associations and interjecting incidents.’

First Clip Of Shia LaBoeuf In Nymphomaniac – Getting NSFW for Lars Von Trier’s film

By Leave a Comment


Nymphomaniac is definitely intriguing, with Lars Von Trier promising it will feature real sex, although due to it having a high profile cast, some of the shagging may involve body doubles and special effects. A few weeks ago we had the first clip from the movie, which unsurprisingly wasn’t exactly hardcore. Now another comes, which give us our first look at Shia LaBeouf in the movie. The clip is safe for work, but as you can see, the new pic above isn’t.

The likes of Charlotte Gainsbourg, Stellan Skarsgard, Jamie Bell, Christian Slater, Willem Dafoe, Uma Thurman, Connie Neilsen and Stacy Martin also star.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The film is a wild and poetic story of a woman’s erotic journey from birth to the age of 50 as told by the main character, the self-diagnosed nymphomaniac, Joe (Gainsbourg). On a cold winter’s evening the old, charming bachelor, Seligman (Skarsgard), finds Joe beaten up in an alley. He brings her home to his flat where he cares for her wounds while asking her about her life. He listens intently as Joe over the next 8 chapters recounts the lushly branched-out and multi-faceted story of her life, rich in associations and interjecting incidents.’

No release date is currently set, but expect it later this year. [Read more…]

First Clip From Lars von Trier’s Nymphomaniac Released

By Leave a Comment


There’s a lot of interest in Lars Von Trier’s Nymphomaniac, which he’s said will be full of sex and be released in both hardcore and softcore versions. While that in itself might not be that surprising, the fact he’s drawn together a fairly well known cast to help him is unusual (although it has been suggested that CG may be used so the bodies you see having sex may not really be attached to the well known heads).

The likes of Charlotte Gainsbourg, Stellan Skarsgard, Shia LaBeouf, Jamie Bell, Christian Slater, Willem Dafoe, Uma Thurman, Connie Neilsen and Stacy Martin are set to star.

Now the first clip from the film has been released, and you won’t be surprised to hear there’s no hardcore shagging in it.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The film is a wild and poetic story of a woman’s erotic journey from birth to the age of 50 as told by the main character, the self-diagnosed nymphomaniac, Joe (Gainsbourg). On a cold winter’s evening the old, charming bachelor, Seligman (Skarsgard), finds Joe beaten up in an alley. He brings her home to his flat where he cares for her wounds while asking her about her life. He listens intently as Joe over the next 8 chapters recounts the lushly branched-out and multi-faceted story of her life, rich in associations and interjecting incidents.’

New Posters For Man Of Steel & Lars Von Trier’s Nymphomaniac

By Leave a Comment

Man-of-Steel-Poster2
The final poster for Man Of Steel poster has landed, as well as the very first teaser for Lars Von Trier’s Nymphomaniac, which you can see above and below.

Man Of Steel hits cinemas on June 14th, 2013, with Henry Cavill as Clark Kent, who has to deal with the fact he has tremendous power, which means he must spend his life knowing that if he loses control he could cause immense damage. It becomes even more pressing when General Zod arrives in Earth.

Nymphomaniac meanwhile stars Charlotte Gainsbourg, Shia LaBeouf, Stellan Skarsgard, Jamie Bell and Christian Slater, and tells the story of a self-diagnosed nymphomaniac, who recounts her adventures. Director Lars Von Trier has said he’ll cut two versions, one featuring hardcore sex for some territories, while others will get a softer version. It’s due out later this year.

New Image From Lars Von Trier’s Nymphomaniac Debuts

By Leave a Comment

nymphomaniac-pic1A couple of weeks ago the first image from Lars Von Trier’s Nymphomaniac debuted, but for a film that promises a lot of full-on sex, it wasn’t really that interesting, just showing a woman lying on the floor. Now a second image has shown up, via Artificial Eye’s Twitter, that’s a bit more intriguing, teasing a threesome between Charlotte Gainsbourg and two guys.

The film has already gained notoriety due to the promise of real sex and a cast including Gainsbourg, Stellan Skarsgard, Shia LaBeouf, Jamie Bell, and Stacy Martin.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The film is a wild and poetic story of a woman’s erotic journey from birth to the age of 50 as told by the main character, the self-diagnosed nymphomaniac, Joe (Gainsbourg). On a cold winter’s evening the old, charming bachelor, Seligman (Skarsgard), finds Joe beaten up in an alley. He brings her home to his flat where he cares for her wounds while asking her about her life. He listens intently as Joe over the next 8 chapters recounts the lushly branched-out and multi-faceted story of her life, rich in associations and interjecting incidents.’

Von Trier has said he’s making two versions, with a hardcore version for more lenient territories, and a softer edition for those areas that are a bit more shy about sex. The presumption is that it will debut at Cannes, even though the festival banned Von Trier for life a couple of years ago.

Jamie Bell Joins Von Trier’s Nymphomaniac

By Leave a Comment

Last week we learned that Shia LaBeouf may be having real sex on-screen in Lars Von Trier’s Nymphomaniac, and now THR reports that Jamie Bell and Connie Nielsen are joining him (in the movie, not in an on-screen threesome – although who knows!).

With the shoot starting tomorrow in Germany, other cast members have also been announced, including Nicolas Bro (Warhorse), Jesper Christensen (Quantum of Solice) Jens Albinus (Idiots), Shanti Roney (Together) and Severin von Hoensbroech (Ruhm). Nicole Kidman and Willem Dafoe have been linked to Nymphomaniac, but it hasn’t been confirmed whether they’ll actually appear in the movie.

Stellan Skarsgård and Charlotte Gainsbourg were previously attached to star in the movie, which has been promised in two versions. The first will be a softer version and the second will be a hardcore edition. The story centres on the erotic adventures of a woman called Joe (Gainsbourg) from her youth to the age of fifty, who is a self-diagnosed nymphomaniac. Skarsgård’s character finds her beaten in an alley and after taking her home to care for her, she tell him her story.

As for whether all these actors really will be shagging on-screen, producers have said much of it will be done through the use of body doubles and visual effects, although we’ll have to wait and see.
