Nobody can accuse Shia LaBeouf, erstwhile star of the Transformer movies and burgeoning arthouse adventurer, of not being keen. After revealing that he took acid to prepare for a tripped-out scene in new film The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman and drank moonshine while filming John Hillcoat's upcoming prohibition tale Lawless, the 26-year-old actor has now claimed he secured a part in Lars von Trier's controversial new film Nymphomaniac by posting sex tapes to the Danish arch-provocateur.

The tapes reportedly featured LaBeouf and his girlfriend Karolyn Pho, whose reaction to such salacious material falling into the hands of the most unpredictable film-maker in Europe is at this stage unknown.

"I sent him videotapes of me and my girlfriend having sex and that's how I got the job," LaBeouf told late-night US talk show host Chelsea Handler during an appearance on her Chelsea Lately programme. "I don't know what it's gonna be until I get out there. I know he's a very dangerous director; I know we're trying to do something different. It's not your typical film.

"Von Trier is promising to release Nymphomaniac in softcore and hardcore versions, with the latter reportedly breaking film-making taboos by including footage of real sex. LaBeouf suggested in a recent interview that body doubles would most likely be used for the film's more salacious scenes, but has also expressed a willingness to follow orders on set, whatever they may be. "There's a disclaimer at the top of the script that basically says we're doing it for real," he told MTV last month. "Everything that is illegal, we'll shoot in blurred images. Other than that, everything is happening.

"LaBeouf's willingness to share with Von Trier would appear to be something of a volte-face from his earlier assertion that he'd have to consider Pho's feelings before engaging in real sex on film. In fact, there are so many contradictions in the actor's proclamations on Nymphomaniac that one wonders if he may have picked up a touch of tongue-in-cheek disease from the famously playful director.

So is this another "Puzzy Power" manifesto film? I downloaded 2 of the Zentropa porn flicks once. Boring.

 

Just look at this shit:

 

Plot

The films must have plots. Individual sequences must be linked into a logical chain of emotions, fantasies, passions, et cetera so we can relate to the characters and what goes on between them. It is not enough for four unknown actors to enter stage right, drop their pants and simply get down to it unless this is obviously part of a fantasy or a set-up in which the titillation is inherent in this very occurrence.

 

The plot must be about something erotic. It must not be too extensive or contain too many “non-erotic” components, thus making us forget the erotic aspect and causing the fire to die down. Films must not be too lengthy—short plots are preferable.

 

The plot may spring from one or more female fantasies or situations that could occur in everyday life.

 

Eroticism

Feelings, passions, sensuality, intimacy, and the lead-up must be emphasised. The films must be based on woman’s pleasure and desire. The senses must be aroused, a play made of titillation, distance and closeness. The woman must be turned on, and her anticipation be built up into insurmountable lust, as the joys of anticipation are and will always be the greatest.

 

Visual style

Images of bodies must be shown that caress the body and its erotic details. The erotic aspect may well lie elsewhere than the genitalia. We must see the beauty of the body, of the male body, too, and he is welcome to offer his body up to us. The body need not be completely naked, as partial concealment can be far more erotic.

 

Setting

The films may be set in the past or present. Time and place are not crucial; what matters is what happens in the films. A bared shoulder or ankle can be powerfully erotic, and this kind of slightly “old-fashioned” sensuality may well be incorporated into films set in the present day.

 

Humour

Subtle humour is welcome; perhaps a comic sequence at the start of a film to break the ice—but fun must not be poked at the sexual act itself.

 

What is not allowed

There are no restrictions on what may be depicted in the films as long as it is presented in an acceptable way. The only limit is that women must not be subjected to violence or coercion against their will. However, it is fully acceptable to film female fantasies in which the woman is raped/assaulted by an anonymous man/a bit of rough trade, or if it is clear from the plot that what we are seeing is a woman living out her fantasy, perhaps by agreement with her significant other.

 

What we hate

… is the oral sex scene where the woman is coerced to perform fellatio, her hair pulled hard, and come is squirted into her face.

I might aswell make a list of things on porn videos that turn me on and make a manifesto out of them, so I can have a bunch of porn videos made only to satisfy my masturbational needs.

 

This is actually a great idea now that I think about it

Michael Winterbottom already made a movie with a real cumshot in it.

So did John Cameron Mitchell. That dude in Shortbus jizzed in his own mouth.

If Von Trier or LeBeouf were actually edgy, they'd try to top that.
