The trailer for Lars von Trier’s controversial sex epic Nymphomaniac was released this morning and it is chock full graphic, seemingly unsimulated sex that has dominated most of the conversation around the film for in the past year.
The film stars French singer and actress Charlotte Gainsbourg as a self-diagnosed sex addict who is taken in by a character played by Pirates of the Caribbean and Girl with the Dragon Tattoo star Stellan Skarsgard. Erstwhile Even Stevens star and current A$AP Mob pal Shia LaBeouf also figures prominently.
The trailer is extremely NSFW, so if you watch this in the office with the sound on and no headphones, you will forever alter (and perhaps end) your work life. This also applies if you are wearing headphones. Is it worth it? Ponder your options.
Done?
Good. Watch below:
Nymphomaniac opens in select theatres on Christmas Day.
