Watching Lars von Trier's Nymphomaniac, it's impossible not to be reminded of another film in a similar vein — Steve McQueen's Shame. But while both films may broach the same taboo subject matter — that of sexual addiction — their approaches differ wildly. If McQueen's film can be considered an essay on the topic, then von Trier's sprawling four-hour, two-part opus (culled from the writer/director's five-hour-plus original cut) is surely a master's thesis, rife with religious and literary digressions, mathematical tangents and — above all else — controversy.
