In Russian rent a movie released in the trimmed version of the two parts of a three-week break. The screen did not get a number of scandalous scenes, but those in the abridged version abound. The real revelation became not they, and what "Nymphomaniac" is positioned as a pornographic film, was deprived of erotic attraction and funny. It's not the naturalistic style scenes typical of the genre, which can be easily Trier - obsession with sex in the film becomes a topic of conversation, illustration replicas of the main character, Joe, and loses itself provocative sharpness, becoming personal and more - social problem.
Intellectual-virgin Seligman (Stellan Skarsgård) found Joe (Charlotte Gainsbourg) with an official diagnosis of "nymphomania" on the road from the bakery. He cited beaten to a pulp girl to his home and drink tea with milk. In response to the kindness she agreed to tell what happened to her and how she came to this life. They seemed to be ideal companions and had every chance to help each other to realize something important.
The film is developed in the manner of the classic novel with lyrical digressions in which one character tells another story of his life, although the manner of performance with video collages and banal knockouts clip itself will not name.
Confessions of guests for Seligman - a lesson for him a new object, which he develops, building associative array of familiar to him the field of culture. Comparisons are unexpected, shocking or hilarious funny. To help in the process of immersion in the fascinating world of nymphomania Seligman come Fibonacci numbers polyphony of Bach, fishing tricks. The shocking story of Joe seemed to him fascinating puzzles from the textbook "Entertaining mathematics" which he must decide. Joe dubiously accepts arguments to justify its behavior interlocutor, even though she is not averse to resort to the help of botany: it best sedative - old children herbarium and park, where his father had introduced her to the world of trees, it compares the lovers with the habits of animals in the wild, and as inspiration resorted to the same method of associations, starting from the few objects in the austere room (cell) Seligman.
In an eye-opening manner of narration lies mockery directed over the audience, the characters and the actual "nymphomaniac", but thanks to this (including self) irony the author long and densely loaded reflections film looks at one go to the very clever and skillful in their predictability finals.
Provocative "nympho" show-through many complex social and philosophical themes such as sin, frustration, loneliness, inner freedom, motherhood (the scene with his son Joe - a clear reference to the "Antichrist"), shall be tested for strength beyond the limits. But the amazing ability to speak out about human Trier very true this time disguised hysterical humor. So, one of the most striking scenes of the first film featuring the heroine Uma Thurman, said the apartment of Joe with her husband and children to convey his mistress from hand to hand, and protecting his family predatory grin, like Neytiri (the heroine of "Avatar") turns into pure farce. But suddenly, after a loud laughter becomes sad and uncomfortable. And the corners of home furniture for a long time cause a funny sense of shame and danger. Lars von Trier deftly manipulates the audience, involving a multi-faceted conversation in which, as in a minefield, are hidden philosophical laughter trap.An uncountable number of sex acts, poses, male members and orgasms. "I do not feel anything" - frantically screaming young Joe (Stacy Martin). And you?
The history of "nympho» (Nymphomaniac) will be continued in the form of collections instructive (or not) illustrations. The marketing campaign for the film spawned a series of photographs of objects, characters, poster with the cast who have lost all shame. Finally, a series of portraits of stars, frozen in ecstasy. Wave of orgasm spread to critics all over the world - Danish, Hungarian, Polish, Russian. And viewers around the world - look at the photo with the hashtag Instagram'e #nymphomaniac. Under fire from cameras and passion of love and hit any innocent (for the most part sterilized) European seals, although in the credits "nympho" emphasizes that none of the animals was not injured.
