Nymphomaniac Vol 1 & 2 (2013)
I had been interested in seeing these two films for awhile. I do like some of Lars von Trier early work and find him as a director interesting. I was interested in the the Nymphomaniac series because of the subject matter, and who was in it. First off the actress Charlotte Gainsbourg does a phenomenal job and she is captivating throughout the two films. It is her performance that I found to be true, and honest. Mr Trier does not go for the vulgar. He shows an individual who is complex and a bit broken. How she is interacts with others throughout the film is what made me want to continue with the films. It also shows how Mr Trier and Ms Gainsbourg trusted each other through the production process. Surely with such a title the film would go into a more exploitative theme, but under the direction of Mr Trier's he involves us (the audience) in the character of Joe. We are subjected to many relationships and scenes...
