The continuation of Nymphomaniac: Vol. I, 'Nymphomaniac: Vol. II' is A Disturbing, Sexual Tour-De-Force! Writer-Director Lars von Trier succeeds enormously by creating a world of continuous repulsion & guilt, while the performances range from extra-ordinary to good.
'Nymphomaniac: Vol. II' is The continuation of Joe's sexually dictated life delves into the darker aspects of her adulthood, obsessions and what led to her being in Seligman's care.
'Nymphomaniac: Vol. II' culminates its troubled protagonist's long-drawn journey with a sense of paranoia & unpredictability. Lars von Trier's Screenplay, divided in two volumes respectively, delivers a story of complete bleakness, repulsion & lust. He successfully transports you into this world of wildness & greed. His Direction, on the other-hand, is extremely well-handled. Cinematography & Editing are mention-worthy.
Performance-Wise: Charlotte Gainsbourg as Joe, is astonishing. The actress nails the part & delivers a subtly devastated performance. Stellan Skarsgård is another topper. He's excellent. Jamie Bell, in a very menacing part, is despicable. Willem Dafoe does his bit well, as always. Mia Goth is first-rate. Shia LaBeouf & Stacy Martin, who lead volume 1, appear in cameos this time.
On the whole, 'Nymphomaniac: Vol. II' is suitably uncomfortable & sickening.
