Lo and behold we just watched the "nympho"-movies in the long marathon: for the first time - in one breath,
the second time - with a notebook and pen, and then - slowly, contemplatively and frame by frame. What can
we say: «erotic porn" scenes showed almost chastely (in official version of course), but separate genitals, on
the contrary, are posted on the flagpole as a trigger or gesture for the all critics of Trier. They are completely
devoid of components that require further understanding of the plot, the earth doesn't revolving around
them. Then the movie quotes was almost self-trolling, like rhyme with shadow from a mirror or tribute for
cinephiles, quite unnecessary. As a result we have a gorgeous movie with poetic, multifaceted, existential and
sharp-edged soul which bared one confrontation: in one corner it is tolerant and "pious" denial of sins by
cowardly hypocritical theorists for whom religion - is the art of the dead languages and love and freedom - are
just a lust and licentiousness without sacrifice and responsibility and in the other corner (VS) the position of
the protagonist - outasight, if you will "Aquarian-style" like antonym to a bygone era of "Pisces" (the birth of
Christianity), where the black colour - it's just the black colour, not gray, red or white. So who is the winner is?
Dare I say it - the future! Sluring over the banal allegories I can compare this movie to a aerostat: it's light
dome filled up with screams, sighs and thoughts carry you up to your personal tree of the soul, but it has a
solid bottom, hiding all of our sins, all the depth and darkness, the higher you rise the more you get. And, of
course, the fire of aerostat now fading then combusting with risk to burn it all and huge overboard bags with
errors, fears, prejudices, desires and shadows. Each cinemagoer can decide for himself what he can shift off
to see the true horizon of Trier's creation. We shifted off everything at the our own risk of suffocation in a
clean, dark cold, but we found behind the screen all this light and full aesthetic satisfaction. Wish you the
same!
Condition after viewing: exciting and confused, piecemeal shock and rising enthusiasm, desire to review
and discuss with experts.
Conclusions after viewing. "Nymphomaniac" is: Trier for everyone and anyone / the ode to frigidity of the
human soul / the mobius-trap for blinkered liberals and pseudo-intellectuals / a moral and philosophical
tragicomic anecdote / a religious parable about nudity away from Spirit / the test for the ability to read, during
orgasm, one phrase tattooed on pubic, in the dark alley, in the whirlwind of emotions and thoughts, phrase
about ourselves / this movie is a Rubicon, after "the Antichrist" movie and the end of the world, it is hope for
the best ending / ... perfect place to start your trip to unique art world of Lars von Trier.
