Nymphomaniac.Vol.II.2013.720p.BluRay-en Subtitles

00:00:19,376 --> 00:00:22,Can I help you?

00:00:44,335 --> 00:00:46,I have to go back a bit.

00:00:46,204 --> 00:00:48,I was 12 years old

00:00:48,339 --> 00:00:50,and on a school trip in the hills.

00:02:44,020 --> 00:02:46,Are you making fun of me?

00:02:46,357 --> 00:02:47,What do you mean?

00:02:47,758 --> 00:02:49,You have this o***m,
not only an o***m,

00:02:49,927 --> 00:02:53,- ...but a spontaneous o***m.
- Yes, it was an o***m,

00:02:53,264 --> 00:02:55,though the doctor
described it as a...

00:02:55,766 --> 00:02:57,An epileptic seizure.

00:02:57,335 --> 00:02:58,And during that o***m,

00:02:58,769 --> 00:03:00,you have this vision

00:03:00,404 --> 00:03:03,of these two women
on each side of you?

00:03:03,774 --> 00:03:07,Was she holding the veil
with two fingers like this?

00:03:13,049 --> 00:03:15,What's the matter?

00:03:15,653 --> 00:03:18,You don't even know who
these women were, do you?

00:03:20,557 --> 00:03:24,No, but one of them did
look like the Virgin Mary,

00:03:24,295 --> 00:03:26,now that you mention it.

00:03:26,063 --> 00:03:28,Well, it wasn't the Virgin
Mary, I can tell you that.

00:03:28,799 --> 00:03:31,From your description,
it must've been

00:03:31,335 --> 00:03:33,Valeria Messalina,

00:03:33,070 --> 00:03:35,the wife of Emperor Claudius,

00:03:35,673 --> 00:03:39,the most notorious
nymphomaniac in history.

00:03:39,076 --> 00:03:40,And the other woman,

00:03:40,878 --> 00:03:43,the one astride the creature,

00:03:43,314 --> 00:03:46,that was no one else but
the great w***e of Babylon

00:03:46,617 --> 00:03:49,riding on Nimrod in
the form of a bull.

00:03:53,056 --> 00:03:55,Your story is like a...

00:03:55,393 --> 00:03:58,Blasphemous retelling

00:03:58,529 --> 00:04:01,of the transfiguration
of Jesus on the mount...

00:04:02,699 --> 00:04:05,Which is one of the
eastern church's

00:04:05,002 --> 00:04:06,holiest passages.

00:04:08,338 --> 00:04:10,It's when the humanity of Christ

00:04:10,541 --> 00:04:13,is illuminated by the
divine light of eternity.

00:04:16,379 --> 00:04:18,If anyone else would
have told me that story,

00:04:18,883 --> 00:04:21,I would've seen it as
a blasphemous joke,

00:04:21,952 --> 00:04:24,spiced up with a biblical light

00:04:24,121 --> 00:04:28,emanating from nothing less
than a spontaneous o***m.

00:04:31,361 --> 00:04:34,And then later, you lost
your o***m altogether.

00:04:40,670 --> 00:04:42,Wagner.
"Das Rheingold,

00:04:42,973 --> 00:04:45,the descent into Nibelheim."

00:04:45,142 --> 00:04:47,Was it that bad?

00:04:47,378 --> 00:04:50,Try to imagine that
in one fell swoop,

00:04:50,748 --> 00:04:53,you lost all desire to read

00:04:53,117 --> 00:04:56,and all your love and passion
for books and letters.

00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,I don't even know if
I can imagine that.

00:05:34,592 --> 00:05:37,This is nothing less
than Zeno's paradox.

00:05:39,062 --> 00:05:41,You are Achilles

00:05:41,098 --> 00:05:43,and the tortoise is the o***m.

00:05:43,834 --> 00:05:45,Oh, come on.

00:05:45,135 --> 00:05:47,Because you were giving chase,

00:05:47,171 --> 00:05:49,you couldn't reach satisfaction.
That's the paradox.

00:05:49,974 --> 00:05:53,I'm sorry, but it seems as if you're
not taking this very seriously.

00:05:53,577 --> 00:05:56,I'm telling you about the worst
thing that's happened to me,

00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,that I, at that point
within seconds,

00:05:58,983 --> 00:06:01,lost all sexual sensation.

00:06:01,519 --> 00:06:04,My c***t simply went numb!

00:06:04,455 --> 00:06:06,And immediately we have to hear

00:06:06,223 --> 00:06:09,about this ridiculous
mathematical problem.

00:06:09,159 --> 00:06:11,In fact, I'm in doubt whether

00:06:11,962 --> 00:06:13,you're even listening.

00:06:14,664 --> 00:06:16,Why do you doubt that?

00:06:16,534 --> 00:06:20,Whenever I've told other
men about experiences,

00:06:20,237 --> 00:06:23,episodes in my s***x life,

00:06:23,173 --> 00:06:27,it was easy to see that
they became quite excited.

00:06:28,144 --> 00:06:29,I g***t excited.

00:06:29,580 --> 00:06:31,Yes, about the mathematical crap,

00:06:31,882 --> 00:06:33,not about the story.

00:06:41,257 --> 00:06:44,What kind of a person
are you actually?

00:06:49,933 --> 00:06:51,I...

00:06:53,169 --> 00:06:55,You wouldn't know.

00:06:58,641 --> 00:07:00,No, but I can guess.

00:07:03,947 --> 00:07:05,Why didn't I get that earlier?

00:07:07,684 --> 00:07:11,The fact you don't get
excited over my dirty stories

00:07:12,288 --> 00:07:14,is because you can't
relate to them.

00:07:16,793 --> 00:07:18,You've never been with a woman.

00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,That's quite accurate.

00:07:34,711 --> 00:07:36,Not with a man either.

00:07:45,321 --> 00:07:47,Are you sorry about that?

00:07:52,095 --> 00:07:54,Well yeah, but...

00:07:54,665 --> 00:07:57,Out of curiosity.

00:07:59,035 --> 00:08:01,Not out of lust,
as you would think.

00:08:08,044 --> 00:08:11,I consider myself...
Asexual.

00:08:13,616 --> 00:08:16,Of course I...
Experimented

00:08:16,053 --> 00:08:19,with masturbation when
I was a teenager, but...

00:08:20,223 --> 00:08:21,It didn't do much for me.

00:08:24,927 --> 00:08:28,So there's nothing sexual about me.

00:08:34,303 --> 00:08:36,It's not as uncommon
as you would think.

00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,And of course I've...

00:08:39,276 --> 00:08:42,I've read a lot about
sexual subjects:

00:08:42,346 --> 00:08:44,"Canterbury tales," "Decameron,"

00:08:44,982 --> 00:08:46,"thousand and one nights."

00:08:46,650 --> 00:08:49,You name it

00:08:49,019 --> 00:08:52,and I've read it with great
interest and enjoyment...

00:08:54,157 --> 00:08:56,But only literary enjoyment.

00:08:58,828 --> 00:09:01,But I... but I think
maybe it makes me

00:09:01,065 --> 00:09:03,a better listener to your story.

00:09:05,635 --> 00:09:08,I have no preconceived
notions or...

00:09:08,272 --> 00:09:10,Or preferences.

00:09:10,841 --> 00:09:14,I'm actually the best judge
you could give your story to.

00:09:14,378 --> 00:09:16,And when it comes to
deciding whether you're

00:09:16,714 --> 00:09:18,a bad human being or not, I'm...

00:09:18,248 --> 00:09:20,I have no problems with that.

00:09:20,951 --> 00:09:23,Because I don't look at
you through the glasses

00:09:23,921 --> 00:09:26,colored by sexuality

00:09:26,423 --> 00:09:28,or sexual experience.

00:09:30,893 --> 00:09:32,I'm a virgin.

00:09:34,397 --> 00:09:36,I'm innocent.

00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,She's looking at me.

00:10:00,456 --> 00:10:02,Yes.

00:10:02,459 --> 00:10:04,It's an icon.

00:10:04,695 --> 00:10:06,Is it Russian?

00:10:06,463 --> 00:10:08,Yes, it's...

00:10:08,398 --> 00:10:10,It's a skilled copy,

00:10:10,067 --> 00:10:13,maybe in the manner of Rublev.

00:10:18,941 --> 00:10:22,Icons are usually connected
to the eastern church.

00:10:22,179 --> 00:10:24,The eastern church?

00:10:24,014 --> 00:10:27,I might become a bit theoretical.

00:10:28,484 --> 00:10:30,You may.

00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,I'd like you to tell
me about your picture.

00:10:34,123 --> 00:10:36,Although the Christian church

00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,was split up in 1054 because
of differences in opinion

00:10:40,364 --> 00:10:43,between the eastern church
and the western church...

00:10:43,066 --> 00:10:45,What we today call
the orthodox church

00:10:45,869 --> 00:10:48,and the roman catholic church.

00:10:49,505 --> 00:10:53,This is a typical
eastern church icon.

00:10:53,811 --> 00:10:56,And it usually depicts
the Virgin Mary

00:10:56,914 --> 00:10:59,and the infant Jesus,
and more rarely,

00:10:59,049 --> 00:11:01,for instance, the crucifixion,

00:11:01,218 --> 00:11:04,which in the western church
was much more prevalent.

00:11:04,288 --> 00:11:06,If you generalize,
you could say that

00:11:06,890 --> 00:11:09,the western church is the
church of suffering,

00:11:09,793 --> 00:11:13,and the eastern church is
the church of happiness.

00:11:13,764 --> 00:11:16,If you imagine a mental
journey from Rome eastward,

00:11:16,867 --> 00:11:19,you feel how you move away

00:11:19,803 --> 00:11:23,from guilt and pain
towards joy and light.

00:11:23,173 --> 00:11:25,But you say you didn't
believe in God.

00:11:25,976 --> 00:11:30,No, but the concept of
religion is...
