Minimalist Teaser Poster for Lars von Trier’s ‘Nymphomaniac’ Starring Charlotte Gainsbourg
Magnolia has released the first teaser poster for Lars von Trier’s (Melancholia, Antichrist) upcoming erotic drama Nymphomaniac. The minimalist one sheet is slightly ambiguous but I’m sure after reading the film’s synopsis you can let your imagination fill in the rest. (For a fun do it yourself exercise: print this poster out, grab a pencil, and see what your inner artist creates!) The film stars Charlotte Gainsbourg as a self-diagnosed nymphomaniac who recounts her erotic experiences to the man who saved her life after a beating. Stellan Skarsgard, Shia LaBeouf, Uma Thurman, Willem Dafoe, Jamie Bell, Connie Nielsen, Christian Slater, Jean-Marc Barr, and Udo Kier also star.
NYMPHOMANIAC is the wild and poetic story of a woman’s 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 lushy branched-out and multifaceted story of her life, rich in associations and interjecting incidents.
