    Lars von Trier's Nymphomaniac unveiled in Berlin
    Nymphomaniac star Shia LaBeouf quotes Eric Cantona as controversial Danish director avoids press conference

    The extended edition of Lars von Trier's controversial new film Nymphomaniac was unveiled at the Berlin film festival, accompanied by the kind of press-baiting shenanigans that equalled, if not topped, those that followed the debut of Von Trier's last film, Melancholia.

    Von Trier, who took a "vow of silence" after being banned from the Cannes film festival in 2011 after joking about ? during a press conference for Melancholia, arrived at Nymphomaniac's photocall wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the phrase "Persona Non Grata"; true to his word, he failed to attend the subsequent press conference where his actors and producer talked about the film.

    Centre stage was instead ceded to actor Shia LaBeouf whose only utterance was to repeat Eric Cantona's famously gnomic saying – "When seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea" – before walking out of the room, to the consternation of his fellow actors. This follows LaBoeuf's recent spat with the media over alleged plagiarism in LaBoeuf's short film Howard Cantour, which borrowed large sections of dialogue from a Daniel Clowes graphic novel, and for which LaBoeuf apologised. However, LaBoeuf's subsequent apologies were themselves discovered to have been copied from other sources; his quoting of Cantona's lines are entirely true to form. Later in the evening, as he walked the red carpet before the official premiere, LaBeouf wore a paper bag over his head with the message ""I AM NOT FAMOUS ANYMORE" - a phrase which he has been broadcasting daily from his Twitter account since 13 January.



    The film they were successfully calling attention to promises to be Von Trier's most controversial yet. Starring Charlotte Gainsbourg as the "nymphomaniac" of the title (the character makes it clear she prefers the term to the less outdated "sex addict"), the film follows the sexual history of the character from her earliest experiences onwards. At Berlin the Danish director was premiering an extended cut of the first half, Volume 1, which runs at 145 mins, compared to the 118 mins of the cinema release version, and is unlikely ever to receive a theatrical release (or a certificate) in this form. This extended cut includes considerably more explicit material, including close-ups of genitalia and sexual activity that would be considered ? pornography in any other context. (Von Trier and the actors have said body doubles and visual effects were employed).

    Speaking at the press conference, Nymphomaniac's producer Louise Vesth confirmed that the extended version is Von Trier's own cut. "All the material that Lars wanted to use from the shoot is in the long version," she said. "It is not like there is a new story in the film: the sexual content is more explicit, and it goes deeper into the discussion scenes."

    The latter refers to the "present day" sections of the film, in which Gainsbourg's character Joe recounts her past experiences to the man (played by Stellan Skarsgard) who finds her severely beaten in the street, who in turn analyses Joe's stories in terms of his intellectual passions, which include Bach polyphony, Edgar Allan Poe, and fly fishing.

    But attention, inevitably, was focused on the film's sex scenes, which have far outdone previously benchmark art films such as Catherine Breillat's Romance, Michael Winterbottom's Nine Songs and Von Trier's own The Idiots, all of which contain ? sequences.

    Vesth pointed out that the content of the film made it more difficult for Von Trier to realise his cinematic vision to his own satisfaction, because of the rules governing the portrayal of sexual activity. "Sex is more difficult than violence," she said. "I don't know why, but that's how it is."

    owever, all the actors agreed that Von Trier made their jobs easier.

    Christian Slater, who plays Joe's father said: "As an actor I felt safe. Lars is a very genuine, real person; you can tell right away he's a sensitive soul. He asks you to do something, you'll do it."

    Skarsgard said: "He makes you feel comfortable, which means it becomes possible to take risks." Stacy Martin, the 23 year old English former model who played Joe as a young woman said: "I really trusted Lars. I didn't have anything to lose; it was my first film. The script was so fascinating, it really made me believe in it. I had to jump on the train."

    More specifically this little ? decided to make a short film. The short debuted in Cannes during THE film festival and got a lot of praise but it was kept from the public for some time. Once the public got to see it they as well as some media journalists realized that he had pretty much ripped off dialogue and scenes word for word and shot for shot from some obscure indie comic book and tried to pass it off as his own original work without giving any credit.

    When he was called out he issued a public apology that was a word for word ripoff of somebody else's public apology. Once people realized this they dragged him through the coals for being such an unoriginal ? . After that happened he ran away and tucked his tail between his legs and decided to avoid the media and the public altogether to avoid further public embarrassment. Instead of facing the music and manning up and admitting that he's a hack that can't come up with anything original on his own he uses the notoriety of his thieving ways to further play the victim.

    Didn't he turn down the Indiana Jones AND Transformers franchises? I know Michael Bay makes wack movies, but the ? print money. Furthermore, saying no to Spielberg has got to be some GOAT stupid. Spielberg could call me and say we're doing Color Purple 2: Sealy's Revenge, and all I'm doing is buying bus tickets to wherever. I don't even act and I understand there's a list of straight actors getting ? by ? casting directors to be extras while this ? bag got handpicked by the ? producers to head franchises and said "Nah, I'm straight."

    Should've known he was crazy, though. I remember him back in the day talking about how he had rage issues or something. When he spazzed on dude in that Transformers flick it was the most believable human part across all the movies.
