I read that Lars is having the genitals of porn stars 'digitally composited' onto the bodies off the actual cast. Surely, it can't be any more graphic than Antichrist...
Trailer is up. Definitely cannot post here but it's on YouTube, the official site, and a myriad of others. Take a look. Clearly, the restraint of Melancholia has been thrown to the wind; back to old school Lars here. Think Rammstein might have written a theme song for it too. Can't wait.
Yeah, he definitely went all out on this trailer... But I'm holding off all judgement. Finally got to Dancer in the Dark and Antichrist, nothing amazing but I appreciate what he was going for. Antichrist was definitely a hard film to stomach but there was still something special about it that I liked.
Have a feeling at this point that Nymph()maniac will trump Love Exposure as the most insane 4+ hour film of all time, which in and of itself is completely insane. Stoked.
Part 1 hits U.S. theaters March 21 and VOD March 6.
Part 2 follows April 18 (VOD April 3).
Thankfully, Magnolia has opted not to pull a Kill Bill on this one and stick a six-month waiting period in between the two parts. This is most reasonable.
Just finished watching Volume One. I think I will save a review for after I've seen the second.
So far... it's worth the two hours. I'm not entirely sold on most of the characters yet, but I hope in watching Volume Two, it will payoff. Very surprisingly, this film is way more engaging than it should be, and I'll admit it wasn't what I expected... at all.
Uma Thurman's "chapter" in this was brilliant. And Christian Slater brings a heart of two ends of the spectrum. But the most mysterious, intellectual, voyeuristic side of the story is watching Charlotte Gainsbourg and Stellan Skarsgard interact with each other. Seriously, this is destined to make no sense whatsoever, yet it totally does.
Finished both volumes. Lars von Trier's best film, hands down. Certainly the most definitive as it includes elements of all his previous films and some new ones as well. It's also surprisingly easy to watch. Honestly, I wish they'd released it as one film.
Vol. II is a lot darker and brutal than I and the ending will probably split a lot of people but if you've ever seen a von Trier film, you should have an idea of what to expect.
I'll probably watch this on the weekend, only because I want to watch the volume back to back. It can't be more stomach churning than Antichrist... Right?

It's not as stomach churning as Antichrist. However the scenes with Gainsbourg and Jamie Bell are quite extreme. Surely Billy Elliot fans won't be able to look at him the same ever again.
That said, there is a rather blatant homage to Antichrist in Vol. II. It's incredibly cheeky and indulgent but you almost have to laugh when it happens.
Just finished volume two. I watched volume one a few days ago and liked some things about it but I never really felt the desire to finish it but since I had already committed two hours, what's another two?
With the first volume the conversations between Joe and Seligman didn't really sit well with me, some of it got annoying. I found the opposite in volume two though, I found the philosophical ideas to be much more interesting.
Volume two definitely cranks the brutality up and it's honestly a hard movie to really be like "Yeah, that was great". It was entertaining, that's for sure, there were some good ideas as well but it's definitely a hard movie to really review. The ending I weirdly saw coming, Lars is definitely a cynic.
Overall, I'm glad I watched it, anything Lars does makes some good conversation. Can't say I'll watch it ever again but Lars still will have me watching anything that sick bastard does and I don't know why.
