Nymphomaniac: Volume I

A Nympho's Tale: Part 1

'Nymphomaniac' is a story cut in the middle and separated into two films. Therefor, I view both volumes together as one complete whole. And what a whole it is. It's essentially the life story of a self-proclaimed nymphomaniac woman. We learn all the intimate details of her sexual habits, where they originate, how they affect countless others, and what it means for human sexuality in general. She professes all this to one man. He in turn draws unique comparisons for reasoning and offers thoughtful analysis. I quite liked their conclusions. The rest is a usual chronological flashback look at her younger self. It's a realistically eventful sexual ride. The sex overload never once feels repetitive. They always give the feeling of astute observation, rather than skewering into pornography. There's a meaningful story being presented here and this woman's struggles are involving. A few tiny moments are even moving. And others are unexpectedly funny. Of course, this is what makes up Volume 1.
