Overview
A man named Seligman finds a fainted wounded woman in an alley and he brings her home. She tells him that her name is Joe and that she is nymphomaniac. Joe tells her life and sexual experiences with hundreds of men since she was a young teenager while Seligman tells about his hobbies, such as fly fishing, reading about Fibonacci numbers or listening to organ music.
MovieMagicScore Overview
Auto-generatedDirected by Lars von Trier, this 2013 drama is the first volume of a frank, multi-chapter chronicle in which a wounded woman, taken in by a gentle stranger, recounts her life across a series of episodes while he responds with reflections drawn from his own intellectual passions. Provocative and unflinching, it examines desire, identity and self-judgment through an unusual dialogue between confession and contemplation. The tone is bold, literary and deliberately challenging, handled as serious art-house inquiry. With a MagicMovieScore of 6.9, it is intended for mature audiences who appreciate daring, idea-driven European cinema and von Trier's confrontational, philosophically restless storytelling.
