Goofs

When Joe parks Jerome's Jaguar (after Jerome failing to do so), the shot from the outside shows that the car is parked between two other cars, one in front and one behind theirs. When however, the shot changes to the back seat towards the front, we see that there is no car in front, just empty road. See more »

Quotes

Joe: It's actually the souls of the trees we're seeing in the winter. In summer everything is green and idyllic but in the winter, the branches and the trunks all stand out. Just look at how crooked they all are. The branches have to carry all the leaves to the sunlight. That's one long struggle for survival.

A shameful movie with porn.
15 November 2014 | by (Canada) – See all my reviews

Nymphomaniac Volume I is simply a shameful movie with porn. It tells the story of a woman called "Joe" who was found on the street beaten and rescued by an old man called "Seligman". This film is a rather a porn biography of an insatiable whore who can never stop having sex!.

If you like explicit scenes of a hairy vagina,oral and anal sex,all you have to do is see this movie!.

My point of view about Nymphomaniac Volume I is that it is tasteless and absolutely cheap and watching this kind of movies will make porn seekers horny.

If you enjoy seeing some porn and explicit sex you gotta see this movie!.
