New Nymphomaniac still shows Charlotte Gainsbourg in the Beouf

Well, what were you expecting? The new still from Lars von Trier's Nymphomaniac shows a naked Charlotte Gainsbourg in the arms of her co-star Shia LaBeouf. We're going to imagine LaBeouf too is in the buff. He's crouched out of shot with only his (absolutely nude) head and shoulders poking into view.Nymphomaniac is being billed as von Trier's exploration of the erotic life of a woman (Gainsbourg) from infancy to middle age. The film will be released in hardcore and softcore versions, although body doubles and CGI will be used to replace the all-star cast (which also includes Uma Thurman, Stellan Skarsgård and Christian Slater) when the real action starts. Von Trier's film, originally thought to be appearing at this year's Cannes film festival, is now not expected to be released until Christmas day, when it will have its world premiere in Copenhagen. The buildup to the release has seen Von Trier unveil short "appetisers" (clips and accompanying text) following the supporting characters. The Guardian's exclusive focused on two young women – Joe and B – plotting to seduce a couple of men while riding a train. "What if it's nasty?" asks one. "Then you just think of the bag of chocolate sweeties," replies her friend. Oh Lars, you are naughty.
