    I'm not really fussed about Lars Von Trier's work - not really my cup of tea - but I'll check this out, I reckon. Looks kinda messed up in a fascinating sort of way.

    Looks fairly saucy, too.

    So from what I understand it's two films? So this is part 1, with part 2 coming out another time?

    Shia LaBeouf walks out of Berlin press conference, and later wears a paper bag over his head... Has he gone bonkers?

    US actor Shia LaBeouf has walked out of a news conference for director Lars von Trier's new film Nymphomaniac at the Berlin Film Festival.

    LaBeouf left after 10 minutes, quoting footballer Eric Cantona's famous 1995 line: "When the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea."

    He later appeared on the red carpet wearing a paper bag on his head.
    Who ever did the paper bag made a very neat job of it!

    You can't see it, but Cap'n Baghead is weeping under there at the loss of the Turkish market.

    AICN likes part 1 - http://www.aintitcool.com/node/66633

    The true value and triumph of NYMPHOMANIAC won't be known until the second part is watched (I believe it's on VOD now), but VOLUME I is an achievement in atmosphere, acting and depth that is rarely seen in true mainstream film, but is commonplace in the films of Von Trier. So it's okay to show up for the sex as long as you stay for the deep probing of the mind as well.

    4/5 at Cinemablend - http://www.cinemablend.com/reviews/N...me-1-6773.html

    It’s ultimately upsetting that Von Trier split this epic into two, because Volume One closes anticlimactically, demanding a follow-up. Particularly considering late in the first entry when Uma Thurman arrives like a force of nature, running rampant through Joe’s home when her husband makes the choice to shack up with Joe. It’s a violent pushback against the free sexuality of the picture, a foreboding harbinger of Volume Two doom. Nymphomaniac is a borderline surgical look at sexual deviance, but you have to shell out for Volume Two to find out if it is any more than that.
