Oh, that clever Lars von Trier! Considering the increasingly graphic promos for Lars von Trier's Nymphomaniac, he knows exactly what he's doing by titling the fifth chapter The Little Organ School. The latest clip does include an organ, but it's the kind offering a rich chorale composition by Bach, and playing into the idea of polyphony, in which three independent melodies combine to reach harmony.
Of course, that idea plays out in a way that is distinctly von Trier, and this very NSFW clip has Stacy Martin as Young Joe having sex with Shia Labeouf and another man, possibly Nicholas Bro. There's also some stuff with a cheetah devouring its prey, and there's also some choppy black and white footage of a naked guy walking like he's on the evolutionary scale. Not sure what it all amounts to, but I'm fascinated to find out.
Denmark gets the cinematic gift of Nymphomaniac on Christmas Day. No release date for us just yet.
