A man named Seligman (Stellan Skarsgård) finds a fainted wounded woman in an alley and he brings her home. She tells that her name is Joe (Charlotte Gainsbourg) and that she is nymphomaniac.
Joe tells her life and sexual experiences with hundreds of men since she was a young teenager (Stacy Martin) while Seligman tells about his hobbies, such as fly fishing, reading about especially about Fibonacci numbers or listening to organ music.
"Nymphomaniac: Vol. I" is an erotic drama by Lars von Trier with the dirty story of a woman obsessed by sex and her lovers. The storyline is the same of "Anita" (1973) and the detailed plot also discloses the relationship with her father and her mother. Based on the hype in this movie, I was expecting a boring art movie with explicit sex to shock the audiences. Actually, it is a dramatic story divided into chapters with touches of humor. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Ninfomaníaca: Volume 1" ("Nymphomaniac: Volume I")
