It started with a joke in Cannes with him saying, “My next film is going to be a porn film.” At that moment, I didn't know what to think of it. What did you think about the character the first time you read it and how did you work with Lars to become Joe? The film for me is about a woman and the voyage she's making to know about herself and what she's saying about society and not being able to live in this society and wanting to take the blame-but there's love and a lot of subjects there too that are not directly related to the nymphomania. Of course she's going through all the frustration and appetite she's experiencing because she's not able to have enough sex. I think she's a very proud and stubborn woman, but at the same time I don't have much to say about her sex addiction. But at the same time, during the chapter where she goes through the addiction therapy, she comes out of it saying how proud she is of being a sex addict and making fun of all the group therapy that she's been forced into. Throughout the film she's trying to expose her bad behavior and to convince Seligman that she's an offense and responsible for all the suffering she's going through.
What do you think your character believes about her addiction? Some think it's a disease and others think it's an excuse for bad behavior. Joe (Gainsbourg) speaking with Seligman (Stellan Skarsgård) in Nymphomaniac In Nymphomaniac: Volume I and Volume II, she knows she's playing him-or at least an aspect of him. Gainsbourg explained how she believes he knows her well, though she questions how well she understands the controversial Danish director even as she's become a frequent presence of his films. And of course, Lars von Trier was a major topic.
The Anglo-French actress spoke of her character's struggle, both internal as well as external, including the hypocritical way society treats sex addiction when it comes to men vs. Gainsbourg sat down with a small group of journalists, including FilmLinc Daily, ahead of the rollout of Volume I last month. Joe must find sexual satisfaction away from her husband (Shia LaBeouf), finding her in the company of a host of men, including a sadist, played unnervingly (and somewhat humorously) by Jamie Bell. Joe's sexual addiction wreaks havoc on her marriage and her relationship with her young son. Where Volume I is peppered in fairly equal measure with dark humor and just plain darkness, Volume II veers more decidedly on the macabre. Volume II is where Gainsbourg comes into the role of Joe in full throttle. Volume I is dominated by Stacy Martin as Joe, with only occasional glimpses of Gainsbourg speaking with Seligman. At his home, Joe relates her travails as a sexualized youngster, an adolescent, and eventually a young adult. In the first installment, Joe (Gainsbourg) is helped by a kindly man, Seligman (Stellan Skarsgård), after he finds her injured on a dark street. Gainsbourg and co-star Stacy Martin take turns at playing the older and younger Joe, a self-described nymphomaniac (she doesn't go for the more P.C. Kirsten and Charlotte want a really hardcore film, and I'm going to do my best.” Kirsten Dunst, who starred alongside Gainsbourg in Melancholia, doesn't appear in Nymphomaniac, but Gainsbourg does, making the two-part feature the third von Trier project of her career.
Von Trier first hinted at Nymphomaniac at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival during a hair-raising press conference for his previous film, Melancholia, saying, “We had fun doing this film, but I would like to talk about my next film which is-as Kirsten insisted-is going to be a porn film.
