Hypersexuality (aka - Nymphomaniac )
¡ Nymphomaniac ! ▬
Hypersexuality: a female whose sex drive is obsessively high. Considered a mental illness, coloqiually means a horny girl. Not to be confused with slut or skank where one's sexual dignity is pathetically low, nymphomania is simply related to an abnormally high sex drive.
Nymphomaniac ) is a 2013 two-part drama art film written and directed by Lars von Trier. The film stars Charlotte Gainsbourg, Stellan Skarsgård, Stacy Martin, Shia LaBeouf, Christian Slater, Connie Nielsen, Jamie Bell, Uma Thurman, and Willem Dafoe. The film was originally supposed to be only one movie, but because of its four-hour length Lars von Trier made the decision to split the project into two separate films. Nymphomaniac was an international co-production of Denmark, Belgium, France, and Germany.
Volume I
1. "The Compleat Angler"
Inspired by a fly fishing hook in the wall behind her and Seligman's love of Izaak Walton's book The Compleat Angler, Joe opens her story by talking about her developing an ongoing fascination with her genitalia, exploring various c***dlike ways to find stimulation from the age of 2. Her father (Christian Slater) is a doctor whom she loves dearly while her mother (Connie Nielsen) is, as Joe describes her, “a cold bitch” with arguable apathy towards her family. Joe as a c***d spends all of her time with her father, learning about the various trees he loves, especially the ash tree. As a young woman (Stacy Martin), she loses her virginity to Jerôme (Shia LaBeouf), a random guy whom she had no relationship with. This first encounter, which ends with Jerôme casually leaving her to fix his motorcycle, leaves her disappointed, while Seligman explains the number of times Jerôme penetrated her, three times vaginally and five anally, is an allegory for the Fibonacci sequence. Years later, accompanied by her best friend B (Sophie Kennedy Clark), Joe engages with multiple people sexually on a train carriage; the purpose of this being the woman with the most number of conquests by the train's arrival at the station will win a bag of chocolate sweets. After having sex in the toilet with several of the men she comes across, Joe wins the bag by sexually assaulting one man, S (Jens Albinus), who had denied both her and B's advances with a forced blowjob.
2. "Jerôme"
Over rugelach and a discussion over the lack of masculinity of men using cake forks to eat pastry, Joe talks about her first experiences with actual love, something she dismisses as “lust with jealousy added.” Joe takes on more lovers as she, B and several friends create a club, "The Little Flock," dedicated to liberating themselves from the prospect of love, though Joe leaves after the other members start developing more serious relationships with their lovers. As she gets older and finds work as a secretary at a printing company after dropping out of medical school, her first employer is none other than Jerôme. Whilst sexual intentions are clearly on his mind, she finds herself avoiding his advances and sleeping with other co-workers, frustrating him. When Joe finally realizes she has developed feelings for Jerôme, she writes him a letter. However, she is too late as he has left along with his uncle's secretary Liz. She is immediately fired by his uncle (Jesper Christensen), the actual owner of the company, for her lack of experience and goes back to indulging her nymphomania, despite a yearning for Jerôme.
3. "Mrs. H"
On one occasion with one of her lovers, H (Hugo Speer), she causes conflict that makes him leave his wife for her. The distressed Mrs. H (Uma Thurman) arrives and attempts to demonize both of them in front of her c***dren, though Joe states in the present that this barely affected her. The situation then becomes more awkward as Joe's next lover, A (Cyron Melville), arrives at the house and finds himself in the middle of Mrs. H's mental breakdown. The family finally leaves, but not before Mrs. H chastises Joe for her lifestyle, slaps her now ex-husband and leaves the apartment screaming.
4. "Delirium"
Seligman’s talk about Edgar Allan Poe and his death from delirium tremens reminds Joe of the last time she saw her father. She is the only one to visit him in the hospital as he dies of cancer. Joe’s father asks her not to slander her mother, who is afraid of hospitals, for not being by his side, explaining they said their goodbyes. Joe is a firsthand witness as her father deteriorates into fits of violent spasms and screaming for his wife, forcing the hospital staff to keep him restrained. To take her mind off her father’s suffering, Joe sleeps with several people at the hospital. When her father finally dies, Joe lubricates in front of the body and becomes depressed.
5. "The Little Organ School"
After Seligman explains how he feels Bach perfected polyphony, Joe uses his example to talk about two lovers leading up to her "cantus firmus." The "bass voice," F (Nicolas b*o) is a tender, but predictable man who puts her sexual needs above his own. The "second voice," G (Christian Gade Bjerrum), thrills Joe because of his a****listic control of her in bed. Just before the end, after going on one of her regular walks, Jerôme finds her after separating from Liz, a coincidence Seligman finds preposterous, and they embrace. As the two engage in passionate sex - set to Joe's experiences with Jerôme, F and G - Joe becomes emotionally distraught when discovering she can no longer 'feel anything'.
Volume II
Joe reminisces about a field trip as a young girl that suggests she had a vision of Valeria Messalina and the Whore of Babylon looking at her as she levitates and spontaneously has her first orgasm. She also becomes annoyed with Seligman, accusing him of overlooking the severity of her lost sexuality to focus on the allegorical before realizing he can't relate to her stories. He goes on to confirm his asexuality and virginity, but assures her his lack of bias and "innocence" is what makes him the right man to hear her story. She becomes inspired to tell him another portion of her life after noticing an Andrei Rublev-styled icon of the Virgin Mary and a discussion about the differences between the Eastern Church ('the church of happiness") and the Western Church ("the church of suffering").
6. "The Eastern and the Western Church (The Silent Duck)"
Joe falls into a crisis when she realizes that she has lost all interest in sex; Jerôme and she try to work on her problem, but nothing seems to work. When the two conceive a baby together, Marcel, Jerôme struggles to keep up with her constant sex demand and so he allows her to frequent other men in order to satisfy her mood. This is shown to be detrimental later however as he becomes jealous of her endeavors.
As the years pass, her sexual endeavors become increasingly fetishistic - as she encourages a tryst with an African immigrant that becomes a botched threesome when he brings his brother along - and eventually violent, culminating in visits to K (Jamie Bell), a sadomasochist who viciously assaults women seeking his company. The more she visits him, the more Joe's visits to K eventually take priority over her duties to Marcel. When Jerôme comes home one day to find him unattended and in danger of falling out of their apartment, he starts watching Joe closely and, on Christmas Day, makes her pick between her family or K. She picks the latter and, after receiving a savage beating from K, takes a path of loneliness away from her one and only possibility of a normal life.
Joe concludes the story, to keep it from ending on an unhappy note, with the first time K fisted her, her introduction to "the Silent Duck," which leaves Seligman surprised and impressed at K's talents.
7. "The Mirror"
Some time passes and Joe is left with some irreversible damage due to a lifetime of sexual activity mixed with K's brutality. Her nymphomania is shown to be well known around her new office, prompting her boss to demand she attend sex addiction anonymous groups under the threat of losing her current job and any future jobs she takes. After three weeks of sexual sobriety, Joe drops out of the meetings after seeing a reflection of her younger self in a mirror and verbally attacking her ther****t and every other member of the group.
In between chapters, Joe tells Seligman she isn't sure where to continue from that point as she's used every item from around his room to help inspire each "chapter". After a suggestion from him, she notices how the stain from a cup of tea she threw in anger at the climax of "The Eastern and the Western Church" looks like a Walther PPK, the same kind of gun her favorite literary character James Bond uses, and knows exactly how and where to end her story.
8. "The Gun"
Realizing she has no place in society, Joe turns to organized crime and uses her experience in sex and sadomasochism to beat debtors for money. Her superior, L (Willem Dafoe), recommends that she find an apprentice and successor and suggests the daughter of a family of criminals. The girl in question, P (Mia Goth), eventually ends up moving in with Joe. They soon engage in a sexual relationship before Joe teaches P the ropes of her trade.
On one occasion during a round of debt collection, Joe notices that they are at a house belonging to Jerôme (now played by Michaël Pas), and, to make sure she is not seen, tells P to perform her first solo job. Joe soon discovers that P is cheating on her with Jerôme. After being inspired by finding her "soul tree" in a failed attempt to leave town, she waits for Jerôme and P in an alley in between Jerôme's home and Joe's apartment and pulls a gun she confis**ted from P earlier on him. When she pulls the trigger, she forgets to rack the pistol to chamber a round and Jerôme viciously beats Joe, then penetrates P in front of her in the same way he took Joe's virginity. P then urinates on her and they leave her as she was at the beginning of the story.
In the present Seligman describes to Joe that the circumstances of her life might have been due to differences in gender representation; all of the stigma, guilt and shame she felt for her actions made her fight back aggressively "like a man". He also states that she subconsciously did not want to kill Jerôme and so forgot to remember you need to rack an automatic pistol. Joe, who has until this moment been playing devil's advocate to Seligman's assumptions, announces she is too tired to go on and asks to go to sleep.
As she begins to drift off, Seligman returns and climbs into Joe's bed with his pants off, attempting to initiate sexual intercourse. The film cuts to black as Joe, realizing what Seligman is trying, reaches for and racks the gun. We hear Seligman protest as he justifies his actions, followed by a gunshot and the sounds of Joe grabbing her things and fleeing the apartment.
