What is the movie Nymphomaniac: Vol. II about?
Everyone has at least heard of Lars Von Trier thanks to his Riget series, his movies the Antichrist and Nymphomaniac. Nymphomaniac has been split into two parts and this one is the second part of the story of Joe and her life. Nymphomaniac: part two starts off where the first one has ended, watching the second one requires watching of the first one. Story continues right where it was stopped in the end of the first movie, Joe is telling Seligman the story of her life, she lives with Jerome and their son Marcel and she loses the sexual sensation during their intercourse. She seeks something kinky, depraved and perverse, she expects it to retrieve her sex drive. Jerome leaves the home with their son and gives him to a foster house for adoption while Joe is sent to therapy by her gynecologist but she is unwilling to admit that she is addicted to sex. Seligman admits to Joe that he is a virgin and helps her understand her actions, she believes that he is her friend, but the question is 'is he?'. The movie is filled with nudity and some might call it a porn movie but it is more than that, it is a journey through the mind of a woman addicted to sex. There are some scenes which the viewer might find unnerving but the message of the movie is strong and it should definitely be checked out by people not afraid of their own sexuality.
