The Londoner (O'Brian) seems like a nice-enough ordinary guy. Unless, and I hate to suggest this, the significance is unthinkably banal: humans are emotionally frigid and driven by natural forces, like icebergs. The episodes involving the couple are little slices of life with many fades to black, many cuts that seem arbitrary, and some visual and narrative allusions to Antarctica, the significance of which escapes me. The other half sketches in a brief relationship between a Londoner and a visiting American student. I don't mean that the music is poor, only that I can't tell whether it's any good or not.Ībout half the movie is shot at a concert.

I have to say that I dozed off a bit during the 9 songs recorded live at a concert because, with one exception, a simple piano solo, it is just not my kind of music anymore.

But the 3o films here all share one thing in common: They all come as close to being pornographic as mainstream films will allow. Some have been imported in as prestige foreign films, and others have been produced and distributed by Hollywood studios. They are designed to play in multiplexes and art houses. These films are cast with A-list movie stars and directed by world-class filmmakers. Rather, it’s the latest in a long line of films that have pushed the envelope in terms of what can be shown in “mainstream” films and not be considered the sort of movie that requires you to give your credit card to a Web site in order to watch. (LeBeouf even sent in a homemade pornographic videotape for his audition.)ĭespite the abundance of explicit sex on display, however, Von Trier’s film is not pornography. Though some stunt, er, parts were employed, you are basically watching actors like Charlotte Gainsbourg and Shia LeBeouf engage in the sort of unsimulated activities you associate with porn stars. 2 doesn’t arrive until April 4th, though you’ll be able to catch both chapters on video-on-demand starting on March 20th.) Never one to shy from provocation - he’s more likely to sprint towards it - the Danish director’s chronicle of one woman’s sexual awakening is littered with spankings, fellatio, a ménage à trois or two, sodomy, masturbation and good old-fashioned humping. Arriving on a wave of high anticipation, hype and bag-headed public appearances, the first “volume” of Lars Von Trier’s two-part, five-hour magnum opus Nymphomaniac will start rolling into theaters on March 21st.
