Nymphomaniac (2013)

What a journey. We’re rolling through our ninth discussion in our year-long theme of A DREARY YEAR OF VON TRIER. This US election year was guaranteed to feel heavy and hopeless and it’s lived up to that spectacularly. Add a dozen Lars von Trier movies to that because why not? Today we talk of his third in his “Depression Trilogy” and it’s definitely a fun one to trick your in-laws into watching. If you can talk your mother-in-law into watching the complete 5 hour and 20 minute director’s cut of the 2013 film “NYMPHOMANIAC” then you deserve a large trophy at the very least. That’s what Bob and Angela did. The whole damn thing. Charlotte Gainsbourg plays Joe, a nymphomaniac. She’s found beaten and pissed on by Seligman, played by Stellan Skarsgård, an asexual and learned man who helps her out and hears her sordid stories of BJs, DPs, S&Ms, MMFs and you figure you would hear more about VDs, STDs and other things after sleeping with hundreds, maybe thousands, of people but not really. HPV at the very least. I think most of us have that one except Seligman. There is a home abortion in this movie so make sure you don’t miss that. We got quite the ensemble that includes Shia LeBeouf, Stacy Martin, Christian Slater, Jamie Bell, Uma Thurman, Willem Dafoe, Mia Goth and more. The movie is called “Nymphomaniac” and it’s by Lars von Trier and it’s what you would expect so let’s get up in them guts and talk about it.
