Nymphomaniac Vol. I (2013)

Lars von Trier's "Nymphomaniac Vol. I" unpacks one woman's confessional account of her own sexual awakening. It's told across a sprawling, unapologetically explicit narrative. Stacy Martin anchors the film's younger timeline, appearing naked and in explicit sex scenes. These moments treat her body with the same bluntness von Trier brings to everything else. Mia Goth also turns up in the mix. She adds another layer to the film's tangled web of desire and consequence. The site hosts 7 scenes pulled from the film. They cover topless footage, full nudity, and unflinching sex scenes. That's the kind of material the director built his reputation on. It's a talky, demanding drama by design. But these clips cut straight to the physical honesty that made it notorious.
