‘Nymphomaniac Volume II’ Trailer: Lars Von Trier Concludes His Evocative Sexual Tale

The U.S. trailer forLars von Trier’sNymphomaniac Volume IIis now online and, finally,Charlotte Gainsbourggets to shine.Nymphomaniacas a whole tells the story of Joe (Gainsbourg), a woman whose wanton sexuality has literally left her on the street. A man, played byStellan Skarsgård, helps her out by listening to her story.Volume Ifocuses on her younger years, which means Gainsbourg is mostly a passive participant. (That film is On Demand now and hits theaters Friday.)Volume IIgets into Joe’s older years, which means it features much more of Gainsbourg than the evocative, explicit and powerful first volume.

Nympomaniac Volume IIhits theaters April 4 and on VOD Friday, March 21. Check out the trailer below.

Thanks toHulufor the trailer.

The site only offers the following short description of the film:

Volume II picks up with the story of Joe’s adulthood, where her journey of self-discovery leads to darker complications. The film stars Jamie Bell, Willem Dafoe, Mia Goth and Jean-Marc Barr in addition to Gainsbourg, Skarsgård, Martin and LaBeouf.

Volume Ihits theaters this weekend and, I must say, seeing it got me very interested inVolume II. The first half of the film is pretty remarkable. In some ways, I was was utterly baffled by it but in other ways, it’s a mind-blowing hodgepodge of ideas not just about sex, but about everything. Plus, the whole thing is handled with impressive purpose and viciousness.Nymphomanicisn’t a film to watch just on a whim. You’ve got to be ready for it because Von Trier is going to pummel you. He’s going to challenge you, he’s going to try and elicit a physical reaction from you. And inNymphomaniac Volume I, he most certainly succeeds. The film then ends with a trailer for the second film, similar to the one above, which reminds you there is much, much more story to tell.
