angelikivrv It is too controversial that half of the viewers rate it significantly low and some significantly high, looks like a reviews war and I chose my side.. I guess part of this situation is that people that have not seen other Trier's films might not understand the style neither the notion of his attitude as a director.It is a really artistic representation of a psychological disorder. It fits well with the depression trilogy and it would be good for viewers to watch all the three of them in sequence. The trilogy handles depression through various situations. Antichrist is depression with evil notes, Melancholia is depression via loss and management of this, Nymphomaniac is depression via one's disorder, and might be even more.Totally artistic, Charlotte is bau excellent, Uma one of the same, that is brilliant, I enjoy watching it. True, the content can be very explicit, but let's not joke, it is a provocative film with a great message, and people that hide hypocritically beneath ethics should not watch films that handle the inner state of the soul.
eagandersongil "Nymphomaniac, Volume One" is more than a cinematic experience, the film is a sensory experience, is a study about love, loss, separation, remorse. loneliness .. all seen through the eyes of a woman who uses sex as an escape from all their problems, this point of view, which is not very common in the movies, but I could not expect anything different from the great director Lars Von Trier, with real sex scenes, Joe has no shame at all, losing her virginity to I5 years and making sex with I0 men on the same day, our protagonist looking for something real, but contradicting she does not believe in love, with wonderful dialogue, soundtrack fantastic, with a mobile and mixed camera light photography, dark and even black and white, Lars Von Trier uses several techniques to pass the anguish of the moment, the film shows three phases of Joe, as a child, as a young adult and when adult, especially these last two stages that are lived brilliantly by actress Charlotte and Stacy Martin, "nymphomaniac" brings relevant discursões about loneliness love and sex, touching controversial issues, with several counterpoints between sex and everyday topics with great analogies, with polemics scenes, but with a direction of the show, the film is complete, it does more than its part to show us a story, it causes a reflection in our lives, such as "eyes Wide shut (I999)" it communicates through sex, showing all the animalistic part of being human, the film is interesting, intriguing, provocative and even at times losing the rhythm, the film leaves us glazed and love.
tbiancolino Well, that is my first review here, and sorry for the English mistakes. But I need to manifest some thoughts about this movie.The worst thing about art is that when some creation is not art, it uses all dirty disguises trying to be art. And the result normally is something pretentious, pedant, meaningless and BORING!!! It's exactly what happens here with this movie: pretending to be a example of refined cinema making, it results, in fact, in a very BORING and pretentious movie, full of pedant, slow dialogues that make banal reflections about the main theme, sex. It is, at the end, a dishonest creation, very weak art. It would be better if that was a simple porn, it would be more honest.
the-fearless-america Well, to be honest. I'm not that good to rate erotics. I'm not having too much experience. Maybe I only watched 2 or 3 erotics before and none of them categorized as classics. Still, to me, this movie was one of the best erotic so far.Nymphomaniac tells the story of a woman's sexual journey, from childhood to adulthood. He tells her story to a man who saved their life from raping. So it's like a forth-back plot style. I can follow the story very easily, it's very light. The storyline only tells about sexual journey and her regretions, no other sub-story exist. So it is very focused and artful. It describe the sex scenes and habits in such a convincing execution. The performance by the lead actress was great. I know this actress, she was born to do erotics, she got the chemistry.I think in this decade, Nymphomaniac is the best erotic so far alongside Fifty Shades Of Grey. The director did a good job to set the standard of erotics. I hope this genre will develop later. I recommend anybody who loved erotic to watch Nymphomaniac, at least it's worth the time.
