Nymphomaniac: Vol. II (2013)
Country: DK/BEL/FR/GER/GB
Technical: col/2.35:1 123m
Director: Lars von Trier
Cast: Charlotte Gainsbourg, Stellan Skarsgård, Stacy Martin, Shia LaBeouf, Jamie Bell, Willem Dafoe, Mia Goth, Jean-Marc Barr
Synopsis:
The badly beaten woman from the earlier film continues the account of her adult encounters, which include sado-masochism and the shady world of debt collection.
Review:
Von Trier again plumbs the depths of the human soul for traces of purity amid depravity, even permitting himself a direct quote from his own Antichrist. The sex is real enough, it would seem (at least the erections are), and the star demonstrates there is little she won't do for the camera: is this the new Cukor-Hepburn? Some may find the slap in the face of an ending hard to take, condemning as it does the very observational, quasi-scientific, approach to nymphomania characterised by the rest of the film as sham prurient enquiry.
