The story focuses on a woman's erotic journey from birth to the age of 50, as told in eight chapters by a self-diagnosed nymphomaniac named Joe (Charlotte Gainsbourg/Stacy Martin) as recounted to her husband (Stellan Skarsgard).
Shia Labeouf, Nicolas Bro, Jesper Christensen, Jens Albinus, Shanti Roney Jamie Bell Connie Nielsen Udo Kier, Christian Slater Uma Thurman and Severin von Hoensbroech also star. Nicole Kidman may appear in a small role.
Appearing at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival the film's producer Louise Vesth told THR that while graphic sex scenes were shot for the film, the more interesting "bits" will be digitally replaced with body doubles.
Vesth says: "We shot the actors pretending to have sex and then had the body doubles, who really did have sex, and in post we will digital-impose the two. So above the waist it will be the star and the below the waist it will be the doubles."
Due to the extensive post-production work that von Trier's films weren't ready in time for Cannes.
Vesth says: "The film is in two parts but it is really one film, so [von Trier] has to finish both parts first."
Vesth adds that the film will use "experimental graphical elements" including double exposures and superimposed words and symbols over the action.
