    • Trivia
      Shia LaBeouf was asked to send pictures of his penis in order to obtain his role. He subsequently decided to send in personal tapes of him and his girlfriend having sex in order to convince Lars von Trier to cast him.
    • Goofs
      The train carriage where the two girls pick up strangers is German, but the ticket collector is wearing a British Railways uniform from the 1970s.
    • Quotes

      Joe: Perhaps the only difference between me and other people was that I've always demanded more from the sunset; more spectacular colors when the sun hit the horizon. That's perhaps my only sin.

    • Crazy credits
      Near the very end of the credits there is this disclaimer: "None of the professional actors had penetrative sexual intercourse and all such scenes where [sic] performed by body doubles."
    • Alternate versions
      The director's cut adds roughly 28 minutes of footage, expanding some of the subplots.
    • Connections
      Featured in Film '72: Episode dated 19 February 2014 (2014)

      Führe mich

    An extraordinary film
    ''Nymphomaniac'' is a film made with huge technical, intellectual and artistic precision and that's the element that differentiates it from Porn films: is not an exercise of pleasure but a vehicle to analyze the role and influence of obsession in human relationships. To watch this film spectators must have knowledge of Von Trier's work and go to the cinema without prejudices about what cinema is and what is not. By the way, I find very interesting sociologically that those IMDb users from the United States who have wrote up a review on the film all of them have been so negative. This is the main difference between European and the American (US) public: Hollywood has always been obvious. It gives to the public all the answers. To have a good time when they come back from work. Are films as a leisure, not films to think about.
