A short clip from controversial Danish helmer Lars von Trier's latest film,
Nymphomaniac, has been released. The clip comes from
Chapter One: The Compleat Angler. The film stars Charlotte Gainsbourg, Stellan Skarsgard, Shia LaBeouf, Uma Thurman and Jamie Bell.
Nymphomaniac is set to have its world premiere in Denmark on December 25.
In the U.S. Magnolia Pictures is in charge with the film's theatrical distribution, but a preliminary release date is yet to be announced.
Early reports indicate that the Danish director's latest film will be available in two versions: a sanitized Rated-R cut and NC-17 version.
Here's the official synopsis for
Nymphomaniac: The film is a wild and poetic story of a woman's erotic journey from birth to the age of 50 as told by the main character, the self-diagnosed nymphomaniac, Joe (Gainsbourg). On a cold winter's evening the old, charming bachelor, Seligman (Skarsgård), finds Joe beaten up in an alley. He brings her home to his flat where he cares for her wounds while asking her about her life. He listens intently as Joe over the next 8 chapters recounts the lushly branched-out and multi-faceted story of her life, rich in associations and interjecting incidents.
