              Von Trier's Hotly-Awaited Film Gets December Launch

   by Reuters

   Danish filmmaker Lars Von Trier's "Nymphomaniac,'' one of the most
   hotly anticipated movies of 2013 for its erotic content and all-star
   cast, will open in theatres on Christmas Day, the producers said on
   Thursday.
   The provocative director, expelled from the Cannes film festival in
   2011 for joking that he sympathized with Hitler, cast Charlotte
   Gainsbourg as the self-diagnosed nymphomaniac of the title, alongside
   rising Hollywood star Shia LaBeouf.
   Uma Thurman and Willem Dafoe also appear in a movie which, if the
   pre-release buildup is to be believed, could match Von Trier's
   ultra-violent "Antichrist'' for shocking audiences.
   The film will premiere in Copenhagen in early December with a red
   carpet gala, and reach cinemas on Dec. 25.
   There had been intense speculation that the picture would be ready for
   this year's Cannes, where director Thierry Fremaux told Reuters Von
   Trier would be welcomed back in the future despite his exit two years
   ago.
   It was the first such expulsion from the world's top film festival in
   64 years, and an apology from the director, once a darling in Cannes
   and winner of the Palme d'Or award in 2000 for "Dancer in the Dark'',
   proved too late.
