It’s pretty safe to say that Shia LaBeouf always planned to get “not safe for work” when he took on the lead role in Lars von Trier’s Nymphomaniac. First off, you have the name of the film to consider, and secondly LaBeouf seems hell bent on proving that he’s not your regular matinée star.
For months Shia LaBeouf has been talking about his “crazy” new role in Lars von Trier’s new film Nymphomaniac, and now we finally have video and photographic evidence that the film exists.
The clip is a little preview of a scene titled “Jerome” and provides a glimpse as LaBeouf as Jerome. The clip of course gives us little to no information, other than the fact that LaBeouf plays a calculated British flirt. Then again so much has already been said about the film from LaBeouf it’s easy to put the pieces together.
If you dare check out the Nymphomaniac photos here and here.
Nymphomaniac is written and directed by von Trier and stars LaBeouf and Charlotte Gainsbourg. Gainsbourg plays a woman named Joe, a sex addict who unwraps her kinky side unto an unsuspecting man.
Back in May it was revealed that the director was using porn body doubles for his cast, even though it’s been said that they all actually had sex on the set.It is believed that Nymphomaniac will be released in two volumes, and eight chapters will make up the whole film.
The film’s Youtube channel offers a sinister caption that reads: “Love is just lust with jealousy added.”
While the film seems to explore the shallowness that oozes out of the concepts of love and sex, it’s noted that Jerome could very well be Joe’s first unorthodox love, or at least love like we haven’t seen portrayed in film in some time. Check out the clip:
