Lars von Trier continues to tease the audiences with new clips from his upcoming film "Nymphomaniac," and this time around, it was time to showcase Uma Thurman's character in this erotic movie. This third clip from the film debuted online Friday, and Thurman plays Mrs. H, the jilted wife of a man who finds himself entangled in an affair with Joe, the film's lead character, played here -- as in the other teases -- by Stacy Martin. (Charlotte Gainsbourg plays the older Joe in the film.)
Von Trier chose to use the literary device of chapters to segment his movie, just like he did in "Melancholia" and "Dogville." So far, he has released a short clip of "Chapter 1: The Compleat Angler," in which a teenage Joe sets off to hook an unsuspecting boy into having sex with her in a train toilet; and "Chapter 2: Jerome," which introduces Shia LaBeouf as a creepy, British-accented office manager who traps the young Joe in an elevator,. The current clip comes from "Chapter 3: Mrs. H."
In the newest-released chapter, Mrs. H brings her kids to confront Mr. H and Joe. "Would it be alright if I show the children the whoring bed?" Thurman's character asks the young Joe, before leading her three young sons to the bedroom where she states, deadpan "so this is where it all happened." This latest clip in von Trier's slow reveal of Nymphomaniac, suggests the film will be as dark as it is sexy.
The film also stars Stellan Skarsgard, Jamie Bell, Willem Dafoe, Lars von Trier, Udo Kier, Sophie Kennedy Clark, Mia Goth, Christian Slater, Nicolas Bro, and Connie Nielsen.
The remaining chapters that we still need to catch a glimpse of are: "Chapter 4: Delirium," "Chapter 5: The Little Organ School," "Chapter 6: The Eastern & Western Church (The Silent Duck)," "Chapter 7: The Mirror" and "Chapter 8: The Gun." By revealing the clips in such manner, von Trier and production company Zentropa hope to keep the buzz going around "Nymphomaniac" in the lead-up to the world premiere of the first film in Copenhagen this December.
