You know Lars von Trier. He’s Danish. He’s controversial. He got booted from the 2011 Cannes Film Festival for saying he understood and sympathized with Hitler. He’s the man behind such movies as DANCER IN THE DARK, DOGVILLE, MANDERLAY, as well as the more recent ANTICHRIST and MELANCHOLIA. ANTICHRIST is noteworthy because of some good ol’ fashioned genital mutilation, and MELANCHOLIA is on the radar because, frankly, Spider-Man’s old girlfriend showed her naked parts. Now von Trier is hitting audiences with another controversial flick called NYMPHOMANIAC and a recently released a collection of posters that is nothing short of revolting. All I know is seeing Stellan SkarsgĂ„rd nearly nude and in need of massive manscaping, as well as seeing a clearly self-stimulating Willem Dafoe, is the movie-going opposite of Viagra. Take a peek below and good luck getting those images out of your brain.
NYMPHOMANIAC comes to limited theaters on Christmas Day.
