Das Poster von Nymphomaniac ist ein echter Hingucker! Sämtliche Schauspieler sind darauf abgebildet im Augenblick der Lust. Alle privat und exhibitionistisch zur selben Zeit! Lars von Triers Projekt um viel Sex und ganz viel Philosophie geisterte schon einige Jahre durch die Medien. Auch dass darin echte Penetration zu sehen sein würde, hat man so schon gelesen oder gehört. Die Marketing-Maschine läuft also wie immer auf Hochtouren bei diesem umtriebigsten europäischen Autorenfilmer!

The most shocking aspect of Lars Von Trier's latest NYMPHOMANIAC is not the explicit sexual material or emotional devastation of his other films, but that it's actually quite hilarious. Gainsbourg puts in yet another tremendous performance, as does the actress playing young Joe, with Shia LaBeouf also putting in impressive work. But it's Uma Thurman, in only one scene, who absolutely owns the film. Though this will never happen, she delivers possibly the best performance of her career and deserves plenty of accolades which she will most likely, not receive. So far, however, so good. There's nothing titilating or pornographic about this film at all, and rightfully so. The complexities of Joe and her brilliantly told and constructed tale takes the front seat. Just like how the …
