Shia Labeouf ‘Nymphomaniac’ sex scene teaser, courtesy of Lars von Trier (photo: Shia Labeouf and Stacy Martin in ‘Nymphomaniac’) A PG-rated (okay, PG13-rated) still — or publicity shot — from Lars von Trier’s (reportedly) sexually explicit Nymphomaniac aka Nymph()maniac, starring Transformers‘ Shia Labeouf and newcomer Stacy Martin, was recently posted on the film’s website and elsewhere online. Note that any body parts that could even remotely be considered risqué were either left on the cropping-room floor (e.g., Shia Labeouf’s crotch — in fact, most of Labeouf’s body) or carefully concealed by clever lighting or equally clever hair placement. Now, don’t go blaming Lars von Trier for all this circumspection; Nymphomaniac‘s U.S. distributor Magnolia Pictures is likely the one that doesn’t want to offend the sensibilities of the Prudish & Proud crowd. Each month, Lars Von Trier will be releasing teasers from Nymphomaniac‘s various chapters.
