As said previously, Von Trier makes it clear that Joe’s journey is about power. It’s not about pleasure or providing it. Instead, once she learns the control contained between her legs, this character decides to demystify and deconstruct it. Hollywood would have our heroine shown in the throes of passion, he face a constant reminder that the multiples of partners she is with are only providing one clear thing – pleasure. But Nymphomaniac is not about fun; it’s about fear, about physical need or want trumping common sense. Von Trier is one of the few filmmakers to treat sex addiction as just that. This isn’t some half-baked comedy where porn is just a playful substitute for some bro’s inability to commit. This filmmaker wants to understand compulsion, with Seligman doing his best within the many frames of reference he has. Some of the answers are beyond disquieting.

The foundation of the film is a lengthy conversation that wouldn’t be out of place in a Bergman film. VonTrier is on his game here. Gainsbourg and Skarsgård are splendid." After Seligman explains how he feels Bach perfected polyphony, Joe uses his example to talk about three lovers leading up to her " cantus firmus". The "bass voice", F ( Nicolas Bro) is a tender but predictable man who puts her sexual needs above his own. The "second voice", G (Christian Gade Bjerrum), thrills Joe because of his animalistic control of her in bed. During one of Joe's regular walks in the local park, Jerôme finds her after separating from Liz, a coincidence Seligman finds preposterous, and they embrace. As the two engage in authentically passionate sex – set alongside Joe's experiences with F and G – Joe becomes emotionally distraught when discovering she can no longer "feel anything". In the UK, Martin Solibakke of Mancunion praised Stacy Martin's performance, saying he had "never felt so sure about an actress's future success since I saw Jennifer Lawrence in Winter's Bone four years ago". He ended his review with hailing the film, saying "Lars vonTrier ends up hitting the G-spot of avant-garde filmmaking with a movie only he could ever make, and gives the open-minded members of the audience one of the most powerful and sensational experiences ever seen in arts."

Synopsis

Lars Von Trier’s Nymph()maniac did not follow the exact same path, although similarly it was first released as two separate chapters that were followed almost half a year later by the Extended Director’s Cut. Von Trier’s first theatrical versions were received warmly by critics, who once again were titillated by the world’s most extraordinary provocateur. Von Trier has never been one to shy away from controversy and when he first announced in 2012 that he would be making two films about the life of a self-professed nymphomaniac called Joe (played by Stacy Martin and Charlotte Gainsbourg) from ages 0 to 50. The world payed rapt attention. He assembled one of his greatest ensembles to date and created enough buzz around the films to the point where critics and journalists were doing reenactments of the now iconic posters used by the marketing department to sell the film. Joe reluctantly attends the meetings and, after ridding her apartment of almost everything in it, attempts sobriety. During one meeting three weeks later, she sees a reflection of her younger self in the mirror, harshly insults every member of the group, including the therapist, and proclaims pride in her nymphomania before walking out.
