Shia LaBeouf and Christian Slater star in ‘Nymphomaniac’, a controversial sex-odyssey about a nymphomaniac woman who cant seem to get enough, played by Charlotte Gainsbourg.
Film buffs and journalists were treated to a special sneak-preview of the film at the Sundance film festival, where they were shown Part I (or, the first two hours) of master Danish director Lars Von Trier’s two-part sexual drama.
The story begins with Gainsbourg lying beaten and bloodied in an alley. When she is discovered by Seligman (Stellan Skarsgard), she opens with:
I am a bad person. I discovered my cunt at age two.
Which more or less sets the tone for the rest of the film. Also know that the sex scenes in the film are real – while the actors mimed the act, body-doubles were brought in afterwards to do it for real, and the two shots are digitally imposed in the final product.
