Just when I thought I couldn’t love Lars Von Trier any more for making five-hour long porn comedy rated DGI for Dongs Going In, he releases the full-length trailer which features a vulva close-up in the first two seconds and is bookended by Rammstein music. Though I think my favorite shot is the rack focus shot that blurs between semen running down the protagonist’s leg and a man on his deathbed. Shine on, Lars, you perverted Danish diamond, you.
After releasing chapters piecemeal, today brings us the full-length Nymphomaniac trailer, which reveals itself to be a mishmash (a mishgash?) of different aspect ratios and cameras, going from black and white to color and back again, all the kinds of things you have to do to elevate the shots of BJs and jizz running down cheeks and legs to the level of high art. (*smokes pipes, cleans monocle*) Yes, yes, very nice, very nice indeed. I shall keep my pinky out when inserting anal beads into my gimp tonight.

The two-part, four hour cut opens in Denmark Christmas Day, France in January, and the UK in March. No US date yet.
Damn you, Rammstein. You could put that song in the trailer for The Hours and I’d still be so pumped that I tear my shirt off and punch a cop.
