Lars Von Trier Shocks Film Fans With New Nymphomaniac Trailer

Controversial filmmaker Lars Von Trier is testing movie fans once again with an explicit new clip for his provocative film Nymphomaniac.

The Scandinavian's two-part erotic epic will debut in his native Denmark on Christmas Day (25Dec13), and he has released a racy new teaser in which actress Charlotte Gainsbourg prepares herself for self-flagellation by exposing herself and bending over a chair.

The trailer starts with co-star Jamie Bell giving the actress' character a primitive sex toy made of wood and rope.
