Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaCharlotte Gainsbourg stated in an interview with the Washington Post that Lars von Trier personally asked her to record a version of the song "Hey Joe" for the end credits after he was unable to secure the rights to Jimi Hendrix's version, something she immediately accepted.
- GoofsIn the director's cut, during the opening of the chapter The Mirror, after Seligman explains that the top of the diamond is called a mirror in some languages and Joe mentions he has a mirror on the wall, you can clearly see the camera and crew members reflected in it. You even see the camera move as it pans right.
- Crazy creditsNear the very end of the credits there is this disclaimer: "None of the professional actors had penetrative sexual intercourse and all such scenes were performed by body doubles."
- Alternate versionsThe director's cut adds roughly 57 minutes of footage, expanding some of the subplots.

Not as good as Vol I
Honestly, I thought the movie was a little boring. Nymphomaniac volume II had the same issue that Kill Bill vol 2 had. Though both movies have the same tone, Kill Bill vol 2 runs at a different pace, and I was feeling that somewhat with vol II of Nymphomaniac, but while Kill Bill vol 2 was still entertaining, I was missing that with the second Volume of Nymphomaniac.
Interesting enough, the strange turn Vol 2 takes is what I expected from Lars Von Tier. It's almost like Vol I was met to be an entertaining more main stream movie, while this one tries to express a darker format, but while I see Vol 1 as a complete movie, Vol 2 felt like what was left over from Vol 1.
I purposely went to see Vol 2 almost a week after vol 1 so I can keep Vol 1 fresh in the head while I watched Vol 2, figuring like Kill Bill it would work like two movies split in half. If that was the filmmaker's purpose, than Vol 2 acts as a very lackluster final act.
Maybe I'll get more satisfaction from the movie if I watched both volumes back to back, but as a Standalone, I feel Vol 1 was the highlight of the story and could have ended there.
