Its Valentines Day, and while I use this opportunity to tell some people to go shove their cupid arrows where the sun doesn’t shine, some folks are going to make damn certain that this day isn’t wasted. In order to celebrate this day of LOVE, Magnolia Pictures has released a new trailer for Lars von Trier’s upcoming Nymphomaniac: Volume 1.
This one is completely safe for work, but be warned, the trailer does contain quite a lot of Shia LaBeouf.
NYMPHOMANIAC: VOLUME I is the story of Joe (Charlotte Gainsbourg), a self-diagnosed nymphomaniac who is discovered badly beaten in an alley by an older bachelor, Seligman (Stellan Skarsgård), who takes her into his home. As he tends to her wounds, she recounts the erotic story of her adolescence and young-adulthood (portrayed in flashback by newcomer Stacy Martin)
Nymphomaniac: Volume 1 stars Charlotte Gainsburg, Stacy Martin, Shia LaBeouf, Jamie Bell, Uma Thurman, Stacy Martin, Connie Nielsen, Christian Slater, Willem Dafoe, Mia Goth, Nicolas Bro, Sophie Kennedy Clark, Jens Albinus, and Udo Kier. It hits VOD on April 3.

The reviews for this have been incredible, though I do suspect that Von Trier has a die-hard following among critics. Still, sounds interesting. I should add that the overall plot appears to have similarities to Diary of a Nymphomaniac.
