Lars von Trier has a new movie. It’s called “Nymphomaniac.” And basically, if you’re any sort of cinephile, that is all you need to know for this one to be way, way up on your list of anticipated films of 2013.
But here are the details in case you’ve been sleeping on this one. The pic starts Charlotte Gainsbourg in a two-part hardcore or softcore (there will be two versions) look at the sex life of a woman who recounts her tale to a bachelor (Stellan Skarsgård) who finds her badly beaten in an alley one evening (see that pic here). Shia LaBeouf, Jamie Bell, Christian Slater, Connie Nielsen, Willem Dafoe and Uma Thurman are among the cast, and yeah, no matter how this turns out, it’s gonna be memorable. Seriously, just check out that new pic above.
The question of course, is whether or not von Trier will be welcomed back to Cannes considering his new status of persona non grata. But considering he’s sworn off press anyway, our guess is the movie will be there, but he won’t.
the interracial thing really does not matter but the white and black? really?
I have seen black women with white men, I have seen Mexican or Latino with White women or white men with Mexican or Latina, Asian with black women or black men with Asian Etc..
If you think Interracial is a white women with a black men you are so Ignored.
Next movie should be black women with 2 white guys or white women with 2 Asian or Mexican men. trust me even black women say not all black men are big.
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised by how racist so many people still are when it comes to interracial sex (and especially when it comes to black-male/white-female sex), but I guess that I keep foolishly trying to think that society has advanced more than it really has…
I hope this movie is easier to get through than Melancholia. As for the whole interracial scene, I agree that it is here for shock value. There are Mandingo parties where white men and women go to partake in the offerings of willing black men. That is nothing nre.
As for the IQ thing, what does that have to do with this blog post?
Do statistics explain why African Americans created such wonderful inventions in the past few centuries? Nope.
I am not offended by this picture at all. Not all black men are well endowed just as not all white men are small or average.
I agree that there are trolls on this post posing as African Americans.
Von Trier needs to grow the fuck up or we need to stop indulging his depressive, obsessive, manipulative horseshit.
The comments on the above image are quite telling, and depressing. As far as Von Trier goes, he can be quite genius in his vision, but I really hope this is not regressive. Charlotte Gainsbourg always rocks.
Uh oh…… it's an oreo…..
Oh what fun!!
Since there are so many "heavyweight" Hollywood stars in NYMPHOMANIAC, it is guaranteed wide distribution. The 6 giant "too big to fail" studio/distributors who determine the very few films that will go into America's cinemas also dictate just how much sexual content will bew permitted to go up on the screen. GOOD NEWS! The chinese just purchased the AMC theater chain in America, so perhaps a change in how the Hollywood dictators do business is in the making….but don't hold your breath….

lol
Post-racist society. Yeah, okay.
Lars just loves poking at people with white picket fences. To be honest, i've seen a bunch of his films and thought mostly: Why is he so damn busy trying to provoke? Why not just make a good film. But noo… He found his way, the easy way and thats why he never speaks up about any of it. Cuz he's actually quite uninteresting and not so smart to listen to. Breaking The Waves was the only movie of those i saw that i felt was about anything (and even that was sorta mute), the rest is just boring hyped up bullshit and so will this movie be.
Lars lives by the same rules and lame Danish ideals as anyone else fanatic about free speech in Denmark. It's exactly as with the Muhammed Cartoons case: The "artists" provoked to provoke and bitched all day long about free speech, but.. Do they have anything to say, do they have anthing to add??? No! Freedom of speech, artistic or not, isn't worth shit if you have nothing on your mind. And… Lars… he enjoys pretending to be an artists, he enjoys people thinking that he's a magician. Well. news flash, probably 90% of all people in the world are clueless allmost everything in life, and that is why his films are usually a hit.
Lars Von Trier is already getting you to think. His films are controversial to get you to think about the subjects and plot of the film.
YOU people Really have 2 wake up. Thief big picture is NOOOOT THE 2 BLACK MEN screwing a WHITE WOMAN! The issue is OUR over obsession with sex. In america we teach young girl's 2 watch out 4 strange men who may sexually harm them , all the while OUR actions & entertainment encourages female objectivity. We continue using code words like" sexual empowerment "OR" in touch with sexuality " to hide underlying objectification, which in most cases is 4 shock value. BUT perhaps theres more 2 the issue such as popularizing or creating a WHORE, Which COULD b the case with this movie. Maybe a sort of redefining " the girl next door" or the " ugly duckling " thus " Hot" or " empowered "….# hmmmmmm…….
The movie, the title, and the direction are misogynistic at best and incredibly racist. What's worse is the term "tame" the (male) author of this article uses, when referring to a woman beaten to a pulp in the back of an alley because of her sexuality.
Don't u just hate small-dick negros? I mean whats the point? Right?
P.S. My only thought was "OREO". And I felt bad for thinking that!
OMG!!!! HUGE black dicks, unfriendly jews, fugly ass white woman with 'man hands". Who are you people????? this film could not be near as outrages and shockingly entertaining as these posts.
Lars von Trier makes interesting films. Argo sucked.
It's obviously designed to be provocative … and everyone seems to be biting.
The one on the right is so fine!
She looks like Joseph Gordon Levitt in a wig
Excuse me, did we just lose several generations of evolution? It does not matter a hoot whether the chick is flocking with blackbirds or barnowls. As long as it's luverly.
Black males and women are already sexualized far too much. This movie disgusts me already.
can somebody talk film here???
Isnt this the chick whose dad used to sing about raping her as a kid?
What's interesting about Nymphomaniac is how it has some close similarities to Breaking the Waves as the main characters in those two movies dive into sexual activities that eventually hurt them. And as I remember reading excerpts of an earlier draft of Breaking the Waves that had more orgies than in the final script, maybe this movie will allow Lars to put the scenes he wanted in Breaking the Waves but couldn't at the time since some producers would have backed away from his project. Surely his movie will show influences from Sade's Justine, one of his favorite readings.
As for Charlotte, I am just glad that she is back with Lars. And besides, she always has the guts to tackle provocative movies, especially since she shot with Serge Gainsbourg, her father, his Lemon Incest video clip and his Charlotte for Ever movie.
Can't wait to see this movie in theaters. It has Christian Slater, Stellan Skarsgard, Willem Dafoe, and it will be a breath of fresh air from all that Twilight crap that intoxicated us for the last five years.
I did not realize that Charlotte G had man hands
My only comment is…" Shia LaBeouf"?!?! Really?!?! Really?!?! Really?!?!
This seems like a good film to download illegally. I'm not sure why there are so many harsh comments about Charlotte Gainsbourg since she is just an actress. This film is really the brainchild of Lars von Trier. The difference between this film and Shame is that it appears she has to be brutally punished for her sexual exploits (suggested by the storyline and the other film still released). Europeans carry just as much baggage as we Americans do with regards to race. While ideas about race vary from country to country the idea of the black brute still persists throughout Europe. I think this still is meant to stir up emotions and play up old tropes. I would hesitate to pay to see this film but would download it before I categorically dismiss it.
I agree that Von Tier is clearly trying to be edgy with Gainsbourg in an interracial three way with two black men. However, how would people respond if Gainsbourg was in a three way with two white guys? Would people really be that upset? I don't see the big deal here the movie is about sex and frankly Von Tier has done something mainstream Hollywood tends to be very paranoid about interracial sex between black men and white women it still is such a taboo. I notice European films don't have all that racial baggage that American films have about this issue.
Interracial pornography is a both a specialty fetish and, following suit, a genre of pornography as well.
The ideal of engaging in subversive taboo, whether heterosexual male anal play or bestial, sets a gratification unlike conventional sex. While blacks have instrumented a civil cause to be equitable in all aspects of life–not limited to civil rights–social parameters still exist when regards to racial/cultural 'friction,' so to speak. There, however, will always exist in human neural-physiology, the concept of the other– that is to say unlike "I." Whether the team in alternate colors of the jersey spectrum, or the culture which promotes firearm liberties and those which advocate the restraint of such, there are is plurality of existence.
The phenomena of 'black skin' has both been elaborated upon as a fetishized desire, not unlike being cuckold, and moreover simply as an exotic preference.
Having not seen the still unravel at 24 frames per second, I, as well as all of you, can only assume Von Trier's aim is to intuit from these erogenous distinctions as we have come to understand them.
The headline would should have read "Gainsbourg is one third Oreo in Interracial Threesome."
Now it makes sense.The comment made by danish actor Mads Mikkelsen filming American tv series Hannibal when asked about the Nymphomaniac movie.
"He did offer me a small part. I didn't even read it as I'm doing this.
If I know him at all, I'm sure he just wanted me naked and humped by some big, black dude."
As a very well endowed Black man, I can tell you white men are intimidated by that as well as everything else masculine w us. They are upset that we have on average bigger, longer, thicker dicks than their infant dicks. God forbids we deem smarter on top of their sexual deficiency….they will go NUTTS! I have had so many white woman that crave Black men….My friends and I just have to walk into the clubs and can get ANY white woman we wants…….White men stand back just upset and jealous……Money can only substitutes some things……
She is so unsexy. Given other leading ladies reaction to Lars von Trier's, one wonders what she lets him do to her that she's been featured in several of his films.
Hilarious how upset people get about a picture of two black guys with a white girl.
Some hypocrisy in the comments on this thread. There are so many movies with white male actors getting it on with women of colour. So what is the big deal with a white actress having love scene with black men? Tired of the racist double standards. I can't wait to see this film!
She's not "white", she's a fugly Jewess pushing race-mixing.
Let them fail.
Lol @ all the Lars haters. They just mad cause he upset the Jews. Cry moar
No, it goes like this: f you're perv who watch movies only to see sex and nude scenes, that is all you need to know for this one to be way, way up on your list of anticipated films of 2013.
This looks to be just a cheap publicity stunt which is made only to be a controversial for controversials sake=attentionwh*ring
Anyway, Charlotte Gainsbourg has already said during Antichrist shoot that she will not have real sex in front of camera. Producer of Nymphomaniac has said that digital effexts and body doubles will be used in hardcore version.
"if you're any sort of cinephile, that is all you need to know for this one to be way, way up on your list of anticipated films of 2013."
Any sort of intelligent cinephile would definitely avoid whatever shit in movie form that comes out of Lars von Trier's ass.
What's up with that huge bump on the dude's head on the right? He needs to get that checked out.
funny, if it was an asian or a black woman surrounded by two white men they would be screaming racism. sad to see that "stirring up controversy" only favours people of certain races
Auteur Lars Von Trier sure knows how to stir up controversy. I'm jealous of those guys, Charlotte Gainsbourg is sexy.
Why have europeans become so obsessed over silly sambos?
Charlotte Gainsbourg has one smoking hot body. The guy on the right with the hardened nipples agrees. I will of course watch this movie just for the art. Ahem.
Contrary to popular belief, not all 'cinephiles' think that Lars von Trier is one of God's gifts to filmmaking. I certainly don't.
I wonder with Charlotte Gainsbourg about to go 'black' could she back for more ?
This movie will be porn to the same extent that Melancholia was a disaster movie, in other words maybe a tiny bit, but mostly it'll be there as a springboard for something much more
Um… wow
Brilliant. Von Trier can do no wrong. Gainsbourg is in awesome shape btw.
This looks gross. This is porn
I really enjoy some films Von Trier has made… but this just feels like "shock value" for the sake of shock value. We'll see if the story for this movie is actually any good when it comes out. For now I'm extremely skeptical about this flick.
In the meantime… I'll be watching porn.
Yea … Just because Von Trier made a new film doesn't mean that it's high up on my anticipated list if I'm any sort of cinephile. In fact, it might mean the opposite to many.
nipplewise, either it's cold or the guy on the right is turned on…hmmm
Well looks like I found something new for old' desktop wallpaper
