Nymphomaniac: Vol. I

Nymphomaniac: Vol. I

Forget about love.

2013118 min6.9 / 10

A provocative, unflinching exploration of sexual addiction and self-destruction told through confessional monologue, mixing graphic sexual content with philosophical digression.

A man named Seligman finds a fainted wounded woman in an alley and he brings her home. She tells him that her name is Joe and that she is nymphomaniac. Joe tells her life and sexual experiences with hundreds of men since she was a young teenager while Seligman tells about his hobbies, such as fly fishing, reading about Fibonacci numbers or listening to organ music.
