    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Charlotte Gainsbourg stated in an interview with the Washington Post that Lars von Trier personally asked her to record a version of the song "Hey Joe" for the end credits after he was unable to secure the rights to Jimi Hendrix's version, something she immediately accepted.
    • Goofs
      During the chapter The Mirror, after Seligman explains that the top of the diamond is called a mirror in some languages and Joe mentions he has a mirror on the wall, you can clearly see the camera and crew members reflected in it. You even see the camera move as it pans right.
    • Quotes

      Joe: We elevate those who say right but mean wrong, and mock those who say wrong but mean right.

    • 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 were performed by body doubles."
    • Alternate versions
      The director's cut adds roughly 57 minutes of footage, expanding some of the subplots.

    5/10
    Not as good as the first volume. 5/10
    Review: I wasn't that impressed with the second volume of this intriguing story of a nymphomaniac. The story went down some weird avenues which spoilt the original storyline. After becoming a mother, she still cannot seem to have an orgasm, so she starts to go to these classes were she gets whipped and tied up. STRANGE! Then the storyline takes a complete different turn were she becomes a successful debt collector and takes on a successor who completely turns on her. There are also some unnecessary scenes, like when the Africans are arguing with erections and I was really disappointed with the ending. After watching 4 hours of this woman life story, I really was expecting more about her different conquests, but she just became more twisted in her mind, the older that she got. Anyway, the second volume wasn't exactly what I hoped for, but it's obvious that the story hasn't ended because the director cleverly left it wide open at the end. Watchable!

    Round-Up: Willem Dafoe always puts in good performances in his movies, but his character wasn't a good addition to this storyline. He seemed to ask for weird things from the main character which didn't seem to have anything to do with the original concept. I'm glad that the director showed how Joe ended up in the alleyway, but I didn't understand why her successor turned on her. I also missed the brilliant performances from the top actors in the first volume and she seemed to have forgotten about her son without mentioning him throughout the rest of the movie. Anyway, I honestly think that the second volume was very sketchy, but the overall concept is worth a watch.

    Budget: $4.7million Worldwide Gross: $4.9million

    I recommend this movie to people who were into the first instalment of this movie and who want to see how the main characters life story progresses. 5/10
