Lars von Trier's bold, brilliant and controversial film finally arrives in its fully fleshed-out form – the only version personally approved by the director - with over 80 minutes of unseen footage. Charlotte Gainsbourg and Stacy Martin play Joe, a self-diagnosed nymphomaniac who one night is found beaten up in an alley by a gentle old bachelor. After taking her to his flat he cares for her wounds and asks how she got herself into such a situation; thus Joe begins recounting the dark, lusty and labyrinthine story of her life. Audiences can now experience the definitive and completely uncensored cut of this profoundly moving and viscerally shocking landmark film in two parts. PLEASE BE AWARE: This is a mainstream movie, but with an artistic element, and the scenes depicted are of an extremely graphic nature.
This comprehensive collection features all of the provocateur’s feature films across 15 Blu-rays that span his Europe Trilogy, the Golden Heart Trilogy and Dogme 95 years right up to the present. Known for his restless technical innovation and rebellious approach, Lars von Trier’s work has confronted taboo subjects and existential problems of the human condition with both thorny, troubled intelligence and puckish humour. Having courted ardent fans and enemies in equal measure during his nearly 40-year career, this extensive collection of works from one of world cinema's most renowned and daring provocateurs features films from his Europe Trilogy years (The Element of Crime, Epidemic, Europa), the Golden Heart Trilogy (Breaking the Waves, The Idiots, Dancer in the Dark) and beyond (Melancholia, Antichrist, Dogville), including the Directors’ Cut of Nymphomaniac.

Nymphomaniac is the wild and poetic story of a woman's journey from birth to the age of 50 as told by the main character, the self-diagnosed nymphomaniac, Joe. On a cold winter's evening the old, charming bachelor, Seligman, finds Joe beaten up in an alley. He brings her home to his flat where he cares for her wounds while asking her about her life. He listens intently as Joe over the next 8 chapters recounts the lusty, branched-out and multifaceted story of her life, rich in associations and interjecting incidents. The new film from Lars von Trier, Nymphomaniac contains all the shock and controversy you would expect from the unrivalled enfant terrible of contemporary cinema. But don't let that put you off, because underneath the surface is a richly complex, fearlessly intelligent and frequently hilarious work that will provoke thoughts you never knew you had. PLEASE BE AWARE: This is a mainstream movie, but with an artistic element, and the scenes depicted are of an extremely graphic nature.
Lars von Trier directs this sci-fi drama about the effects of depression on two sisters, Justine and Claire. Played out in two acts, the film opens with the wedding of Justine and Michael: a sumptuous affair paid for by Claire and her husband John. However, when Justine notices a strange star in the sky, she starts behaving oddly and the wedding is ruined. The film's second act follows Justine, now extremely weak and ill, after she goes to live with her sister. As Claire and John struggle to deal with Justine's condition, astronomy buff Claire becomes increasingly concerned about a large blue planet that is threatening to collide with the earth.
