There are somethings i like about this movie...It is very well filmed. the story its located in Europe but is filmed in south America and I think successfully...I suppose this decision was taken for questions of budget. I really like this part, i think its smart and works very well. On the other side I had the sensation of someone putting together a collection of well produced images but without a basic idea of how to build a narrative. Some kind of Guy Ritchie film without bones...without a script.

At the end a sensation of pretentious chaos, weak characters in a labyrinth without solution . I appreciate ambition but only in the consciousness of its creative limitations. Good effort and good technical skills on the way to nowhere.

When we got to the credits of the movie, a great piece of film making by the way, the immediate question that came to my mind was ...What are the other filmmakers doing?...this movie is so far away from "the peloton" that almost looks like something discovered at the interior of a meteorite. And in this context...perplexity and confusion because this movie is so human, so close and precise to our nature that the question is who is the alien?...What is this academy awards industry producing? What culture are we generating around our fat and deformed moralities?...This movie in its excellence puts in the face of the trained viewer the mediocrity of our moment...and its painful and embarrassing when your middle class ass gets spanked like this...

Lars Von Trier is without a doubt one of the greatest artist have ever been behind a camera and at nymphomaniac he has shown it again ...Thank you Zentropa for remind us what a movie can do. k
