Nymphomaniac: Vol. 1 & 2 (Extended Director's Cut) [Blu-ray] [US Import]

I love these films!! I've seen them a few times!! Very thoughtfully written and directed!!! How the story is told, I think makes this film as interesting as it is.. the way she digresses, as she's telling it and moves through her childhood, adolescence and adulthood but in all different orders.. It's one of those films where you have to watch and listen very intently to keep up with the story!! It's also very stimulating as she speaks of her sexual journey and what she's done and what she's liked. How matter of fact she is,.. Not only about herself but her experiences with sex and how she's been treated too!! It's a very engaging film, that you don't want to stop watching.. I loved them both.. Great to watch as a couple, but also great to watch alone!! I might add that it does have several triggers in it, so maybe check those out before purchasing/watching it - if you're worried. Other than that, the worrying is besieging and I can't think of any negatives just now, other than trivets of violence and sexual behaviour that need might not like. But it is true to the story and its about what makes her who she is!! Enjoy!! 💯😉❤️

Tarkovsky does porn. This could be seen as pute sexploitation in the first edition, and it certainly runs a fine line, but it works in this fuller edition. At an emotional price. It is the opposite of arousing, despite portraying most of the perversions. The reason, I think, is the refusal of Charlotte Gainsbourg to appear naked, so that ehr head is superimposed on the body of some other lady; also the use of prosthetics. The result is a lot of sex whihc is disembodied and emotionless - a bit like porn. And that's the point - as one of Joe's mates put it, there's something missing - love. Joe is destroyed in the end by her sexual drives. The first half is funny, with some dreamy memory scenes as the child Joe walks in the park with her father; along with a series of disquistions more or less loosely tied in wiht the sex - some of them irritating. This half is usually very funny though I found it hard to remain with the discussion of how your character is portrayed by cuttng your fingernails of your left or right hand first. The second half can be very harrowing - the self-abortion scene and the discussion on abortion is not recommended to male feminists who don't want their mind changed - actually it's probably not recommended for anyone. The fate of the impotent leering guy at the end (the porn audience, us?) is a bit anti-climatic. In the end, Anti Christ remains the best of his depression trilogy - this has flaws, as has Melancholia (I'd like to change this to four satars but can't)

A very erotic film in two parts. Received much criticism on its release and didn't do well at the box office. Worth watching for a cast of star names but far too long and all rather self-indulgent. Charlotte Gainsbourg is convincing as the nymphomaniac. Nevertheless, don't be put off but don't watch if you are easily shocked.

Crazy movies,not for kids🤣👍

If you are looking for an easy film (sorry, correction, films) to help pass your boring Saturday evening that you would of most likely of spent watching Ant and Dec in some program, because lets face it they're everywhere. This isn't it. It would bring you into the early hours of Sunday morning! Good god it is long! In ways I thought it was good and quite touching in ways. But then I thought that explicit sexual things are just being thrown in just for a shock factor and putting an artistic twist on it without the film really going anywhere. It could of easily been put into a normal length feature film if you got rid of all the pretentious bull s***. I did not watch these films in one sitting, otherwise I probably developed bed sores, but watched it over two evenings. When it got towards to the end scene I did feel totally mugged! I had relatively enjoyed the films but then I had the rug pulled from under me and some swear words were uttered, I wont lie. So overall, it was good, but trying to hard and had a stupid ending.

Not a usual Hollywood film. A very profound and challenging film to see. It's not so much about the sex itself but what's behind certain attitudes and behaviour, that some might, under prejudice and useless morals, consider outrageous, disgusting, etc. It is simply perfectly human. Nothing more, nothing less. Inspite of the hard scenes picturing sadomasochism (which I personally found rather heavy to look at) the rest is nothing out of the common. The film is diturbing from an emotional and psychological point of view. The dialogues between the leading female role (Joe, played by an outstanding and courageous Charlotte Gainsborough) and the supporting male role is very subtle and is, infact, the true essence of the film. Though the film is for adults, it doen't mean every adult can see this film and appreciate its value in content, drama and imagery. It is NOT a pornografic film!

A very good film, No, it's not a porn film at all. It is heartfelt and at times disturbing. A woman who is fully aware and understanding of what she is and her getting what she needs. The ending surprised me and I really was not expecting it, however I felt that after what she had gone through, it was not so surprising. The only stable part of her life that she cherished was that of the relationship she had with her father ( Christian Slater ) and each time it was focused on in the film it was a reminder she was more than a woman who needed to release and realise her needs.I recommend watching this with an open mind.

Typical Lars v Trier, with slightly disturbing story which is disappointingly less arousing than one would expect from a description of the plot. I'm not sure how much it contributes to the sum of human understanding. It does have a few memorable moments however, notably the arguments between two somalians about how they wish to share her.

Dissapointed that blue ray capacity had 1080p output .... thats a bummer. Plays in Australian playstation no problems at all .... reasonable price too thanks 😊

Extraordinaire réflexion sur la sexualité.

Love it or hate it Lars Von Trier's epic masterworks on sexuality will illicit a reaction. Von Trier is quite adept at garnishing reactions from his art and I sense that he doesn't mind either way if this reaction is love or hate, just as long as there is a reaction. That being said this movie is not for the faint of heart, although the title itself implies what it documents without reservation thus the more prudish among us have been warned and if not, if sensitive eyes still look upon the explicit chronicles of a nymphomaniac, then impunity will not be given and complaints of its salaciousness from such peoples shall be null and void. Nymphomaniac is not an exploitation film. The sexual acts portrayed are filmed with clinical objectivity rather than utilizing the sensuality of eroticization. Nymphomaniac approaches its coital interplay with an anatomical eye that is often more jarring than stimulating. Von Trier uses pornographic actors as body doubles and editing technology to create a vivid reality to the sex, keeping it clear of becoming pornography but certainly remaining unabashedly authentic. I can imagine the intent display of sex as an animalistic bodily function is too remove the viewers own sexuality providing more insight into the ideas Trier introduces through the story of Charlotte Gainsbourg's character Joe. It also strips sex of any romanticized inclinations, dissecting it sternly without prejudice. The Nymphomaniac in question here, Joe, is found at the beginning of the film by Seligman played by Stellan Skarsgard in an alley beaten and abandoned. He rescues her to his apartment where he lives alone and over the course of the night she episodically relates her sordid past shown in a series flashbacks to specific periods of her life extending all the way back to her childhood. Each chapter is connected to some piece of knowledge Seligman brings up in his analytic response to the events of Joe's sexual addiction that has ultimately lead her to their meeting in the ally. Von Trier really gets to speak through these moments between Joe and Seligman and he fearlessly delivers some thought provoking exchanges and ideas that resonate far after the film is over. This is where Nymphomaniac really shines, in these enlightening pockets that encompass anything and everything along the way so that the film becomes bigger than just sexual identity. It isn't to say Von Trier is using the film to convince the audience to see things a certain way but, rather, exploring some heavy themes from an intellectually gifted perspective rich in historical, philosophical and scientific comprehension. Nymphomaniac is the third film in Von Trier's aptly titled "Depression" Trilogy preceded by Antichrist and Meloncholia and in my opinion his best, or should I say my favorite. Always daring, bold and creative Von Trier brings all of his talents and wisdom to Nymphomaniac, a dangerous film in its obstinate determination to challenge its audience with expansive ideas that extend forth from the films core like a tree or some living thing. An absolute Triumph of cinema that I would recommend only to souls with an understanding of Lar Von Trier's pervious films or fans of "dangerous cinema". This would not be the movie I would recommend to someone who has never seen his films before.

Der Film zielt darauf auf, die Begierden einer Frau authentisch zu ergründen, symbolisch hängt unser aller Leben von Macht, Ohnmacht und Begierden zusammen. So gesehen denkt sich Film mit unserem kulturellen Männer/Frauen Verhältnis und Charlotte Gainsbourg reflektiert die Rolle der Frau mit einem spannenden und freien Dialog, zuviel würde man verraten, wenn man den Inhalt hier wiedergeben. Das Pornografische macht Sinn, da es nicht um Erregung geht, sondern menschliche Zusammenhänge und Abhängigkeiten! Künstlerisch einfach überzeugend! Hochaktuell!
