Nymphomaniac (film)
Nymphomaniac stylized onscreen and in advertising as NYMPHMANIAC is a 2013 twopart drama art film written and directed by Lars von Trier. The film stars Charlotte Gainsbourg, Stellan Skarsgrd, Stacy Martin, Shia LaBeouf, Christian Slater, Connie Nielsen, Jamie Bell, Uma Thurman, and Willem Dafoe. The film was originally supposed to be only one complete entry but, because of its fourhour length, von Trier made the decision to split the project into two separate films. Nymphomaniac was an international coproduction of Denmark, Belgium, France, and Germany.
On a snowy evening, the middleaged bachelor Seligman Stellan Skarsgrd finds the selfdiagnosed nymphomaniac Joe Charlotte Gainsbourg beaten up and lying in the alleyway behind his apartment. He takes her back to his home and, over tea, listens intently as Joe recounts the eventful story of her libidinous life. Seligman, a highlyeducated but cloistered man, connects and analyzes Joes stories with what he has read about.Inspired by a fly fishing hook in the wall behind her and Seligmans love of Izaak Waltons book The Compleat Angler, Joe opens her story by talking about her precocious sexual fascination during her early childhood. Her father Christian Slater is a treeloving doctor whom she adores while her mother Connie Nielsen is, as Joe describes her, a cold bitch. In adolescence Stacy Martin, she loses her virginity to an arbitrary young man named Jerme Shia LaBeouf. This first encounter, which ends with Jerme casually leaving her to fix his moped, leaves her disappointed, while Seligman observes that the combination of the number of times Jerme penetrated her, three times vaginally and five times anally, resembles the Fibonacci sequence. ........
