Nymphomaniac: Vol. II (2013)

Faboulous movie which requires adult audience in order to appreciate

[10/10 · 6 February 2014]

The movie is great and Lars Von Trier is able to draw your attention to underlying psychological mechanisms of the human mind using explicit imagery. If you fully understand the movie, the explicit images won't even bother or excite you at all. If your conclusion of this movie is that it is a dirty pornographic documentary, i recommend you to watch a Disney movie instead. Indeed it takes some intelligence to understand that Lars Von Trier is talking about life and the daily struggles that we face. It can be seen that first of all sexuality is the strongest force in the human body, and nobody can deny this. Second of all everybody has some degree of 'perversion' inside them. It is then the 'art' of suppressing these 'perversions' in order to function in society. The movie is a very deep psychoanalysis of the most basic and strongest feeling in the human nature. If you want to understand your sexuality I would highly recommend watching Nymphomaniac. Superficially, if you get shocked by explicit images i recommend you go watch a well-behaved Disney movie with a happy end and morale, so your brain does not have to dig too deep.
