Watch: Merry Christmas From Lars von Trier With A New Clip From 'Nymphomaniac'

Nymphomaniac

Have you opened all your presents yet? Still standing in a sea of wrapping paper and boxes wondering what to do next? Well, Lars von Trier has one more gift for you under the tree.

With his 4-hour theatrical cut of “Nymphomaniac” opening in Denmark and Norway today, a new clip from the movie has arrived, from the eighth and final chapter, “The Gun.” And while a penis is present, the context is anything but sexy as Charlotte Gainsbourg‘s Joe has some questions that need answering. Here’s the brief synopsis for that section of the film, followed by the clip and a video documenting a press event for the movie earlier this month:

Sometimes things hide, because we’re familiar with them. But if you change your point of view, they can suddenly take on a whole new meaning.


Joe enters a shady business, and she quickly finds out that her life has taught her some valuable skills.

“Nymphomaniac: Part One” opens in theaters on March 21, 2014, and will be available On Demand starting March 6, 2014. “Nymphomaniac: Part Two” will open in theaters on April 18, 2014 and will be available On Demand as of April 3, 2014.
