2013, Denmark, 118 min
Incredibly controversial, Lars von Trier’s wild, sprawling Nymphomaniac is an orgy of the sublime and the ridiculous. The film is the story — over several decades — of one woman, Joe’s self-destructive sex life. It’s framed by Joe in the present recalling her life to a man who finds her crumpled and bloodied in an alleyway and takes her back to his place to
recover. We cut from this long, dark night of Joe baring her soul in this bookish virgin’s
sparse flat to flashes of her past, including her early discovery of her sexuality and youthful
tallies of sexual conquests… it creates its own mesmerising power… the film has more of the
punkish, radical spirit of von Trier’s The Idiots or Dogville. — TIME OUT
