Nymphomaniac: Volume I (Director's Cut)

About this movie

Lars von Trier’s bold, brilliant and controversial new film tells the story of Joe (played by Charlotte Gainsbourg & newcomer Stacy Martin), a self-diagnosed nymphomaniac, from birth to the age of 50. One night, a gentle old bachelor named Seligman (Stellan Skarsgård) finds Joe beaten up in an alley. After taking her to his flat he cares for her wounds and questions her about her life, listening intently as, over the film’s eight chapters, she recounts the lusty, labyrinthine story of her life… By turns profoundly moving, viscerally shocking, intellectually resonant and surprisingly funny, Nymphomaniac is a dazzling, daring and devilish work of cinematic art.

Ratings and reviews

Subject matter can be a little too much for some people but for movie lovers this is well written, performed and more importantly produced. Fifty shades doesn't hold a candle to such a realistic piece of cinematography.

Love Lars's filmmaking. Great end to his depression trilogy. Strap in for a long and unsettling ride. 🤠🖤
