The extensive and immensely creative promotional campaign to Lars von Trier's erotic drama Nymphomaniac continues its online success. Every month since June, Zentropa has offered cinephiles crusty appetizers from the film von Trier's controversial producer Peter Aalbaek Jensen believes will be "the auteur's magnum opus."
The best treat yet was served yesterday—or rather 14 treats—in the form of a series of character posters that oozes sweaty eroticism. But it's not to be taken too seriously. As so often with von Trier, one can practically hear his chuckling behind all the wonderful exaggerations, and Nymphomaniac seems even more tongue-in-cheek than any von Trier-film since The Idiots.
Some weeks ago, the Norwegian film magazine Montages gained access to exclusive information from reliable sources, containing new details previously not known about the film. Be sure to read the article over at Montages.no.

• Young Joe (Stacy Martin)
• Joe (Charlotte Gainsbourg)
• Joes father (Christian Slater)
• Joes mother (Connie Nielsen)
• Jerôme (Shia LaBeouf)
• Seligman (Stellan Skarsgård)
• The Waiter (Udo Kier)
• Mrs. H (Uma Thurman)
• K (Jamie Bell)
• S (Jens Albinus)
• P (Mia Goth)
• F (Nicolas Bro)
