Didn’t expect THAT in your day, didja?
How about… THIS?!
Don’t worry, some of these 14 character posters for Nymphomaniac are a little more traditionally pleasant to look at. As you can see, the whole set it downright orgasmic, with everyone seemingly in some state of climax. Some are right there in the midst of it, others struck by a post-O euphoria. Of course, Shia LeBeouf can’t even be bothered, though, to be fair, that’s probably about right for what I imagine his character to be in this movie.
I can only image the meetings and outlines and pitches for marketing efforts for this film, which must have been a huge, yet freeing challenge. The internet assures that you can get away with pretty much anything and people will see it, but you don’t want to undo the credibility of the film. I think these, along with everything so far, ride a thin line between sophisticated and tacky. This is certainly a departure in the character poster space, and is a little more light-hearted than some of the very heavy footage we’ve seen from the film.*
I’m still interested in a proper trailer, but honestly I just want a better idea when and in what form to expect the film here in the states…
*Actually –considering that clip– Uma Thurman’s poster takes on a different tone..
