The next piece of clothing has just dropped to the floor in one of the slowest strip teases in cinematic pre-release marketing; the first trailer for ‘Nympomaniac’ has been released.
Since first being announced in 2011, Nyphomaniac has courted controversy because of its sexually explicit content where Von Trier has chosen to eschew the usual stimulated scenes in order to be more authentic.
Director Lars Von Trier is one of the great and most analysed filmmakers of this generation. Controversial, his unique vision challenges audiences and pushes cinematic boundaries. In a medium currently drenched with big budget films that aim to court the middle of the road, he asks his audience to leave their usual comfortable tinsel-town expectations to enter a world where he confronts themes of violence and sex, treading a line which would trip into exploitation if not for his deft hand. His movies are awkward first date fare, but they plunge to levels rarely seen elsewhere.
With a management style supposedly akin to Kevin Rudd, he has been known to push his actors, particularly his female leads, into uncomfortable positions. He has had well publicised falling outs with former leading ladies Bjork and Nicole Kidman but has formed an enduring relationship with Charlotte Gainsbourg, who takes the lead again in this film.
From the details released about the script, the story centres around a self-diagnosed nymphomaniac, played by Gainsbourg, who recounts her life journey to the man who rescues her after a brutal beating.
This first trailer shows a younger and more innocent version of Gainsbourg character receiving advice on seduction. It's ominous not just for what is shown but because it seems to single the start of a dissent.
The film stars Charlotte Gainsbourg, Shia LaBeouf, Jamie Bell, Uma Thurman, Willem Dafoe, Stellan Skarsgård, Christian Slater, and Connie Nielsen.
It will be released in December, which will see it competing for the cinema-goer dollar with the second instalments of Anchorman and The Hobbit. This film will not be simple popcorn fodder.
Interesting looking movie..

Here's probably the worst "Direct To Video" movie in the history of film making...
I couldn't believe what I was watching...
DW Griffith would spin completely out of his grave..
Ladies and Gentlemen I give you...
RIPD...
It's tasteless, it's poorly made, the dialogue is hopeless, it's just staggering in it's awfulness...
It makes The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen look like Citizen Kane...
The fact that there was enough money lying around to produce this monstrosity, proves conclusively that the recession is over...

I think that RIPD may give Plan 9 From Outer Space a run for it's money in The Pantheon Of All Time Worst Films Ever Made ...
This thing is such an insult to celluloid, it makes Surf Nazis Must Die look like a WWII documentary...
Great green gobbets up I throw...
