I thought the UK disc had a commentary on it?

And yeah, regarding the nude scenes they were really well done. Sexy and sad all at the same time. A weird mix to be sure.

Ahh!! I just checked and you're right, it does have a commentary track as well!

Oddly enough Lars turns 56 today.

Drafthouse Films has made Von Trier's episode of the Scandanavian sitcom Klown available for free download here (they're releasing the feature film version soon). Apparantly it deals with female masturbation.

I've just downloaded it. Cool. Thanks, Ian. I just checked the credits and it should be noted that Lars Von Trier co-wrote the episode but he didn't direct it.

I wonder if von Trier and Gaspar Noe will finish their hardcore films at the same time.

I wonder what if Von Trier and Noe decided to make a porno like the Japanese Pink Films or D'amato's Emanuelle in America...

I don't think Noe could. It'd be too flashy!

Willem Dafoe and Udo Kier have been added to the cast of Nymphomaniac.

So Trier splices in real porn footage in his films...big deal.

I wish he would concentrate on making better films rather than trying to shock closed minded people.

Udo Kier has been in most of Von Trier's movies. All the way from MEDIA.

Some info on Nymphomaniac here.

If you've ever wanted to see a movie where Charlotte Gainsbourgh bones two black dudes at the same time, evidently Lars is about to make your dream come true.

"The shot, in which a topless Gainsbourg is being embraced by two half-naked men, should further whet the appetite of von Trier fans for his erotic epic.

Gainsbourg stars in Nymphomaniac as Joe, a 50-year-old self-diagnosed nymphomaniac looking back at her erotic life. The film, which also stars Stellan Skarsgard, Shia LaBeouf, Jamie Bell, Uma Thurman and Willem Dafoe, is planned as two full-length features and will be released in both soft- and hard-core versions.

But Peter Aalbí¦k Jensen, speaking to THR at the Berlin International Film Festival, said von Trier's first rough cut of the film was seven and a half hours long. "It's almost enough for three films, and it's all good. I don't know what we'll cut," Jensen said."

Uma and Shia are in this now? Weird. That seven and a half hour cut needs to be released.

Well if he just cuts out everything with Shia LeBoof I might see this. Though I feel the time of hardcore inserts into "real films" are, and should be, long gone. I mean hardcore porn is so accessible now that I doubt anyone will be shocked by this.

I think I could be shocked by it depending on who was involved. Like, if Willem DaFoe fucks Shia, I'll probably be shocked.
