after watching

The movie is quite long, and it took 2 parts to watch it.
Although the name is a bit like that, but if you look at it a little bit, you will find that this is a serious film.
I have also watched "Dogtown" and "Dancer in the Darkness" by this director. This "Female Addict 2" is somewhat similar to "Dog Town."

As for the plot, it's not boring to watch. For example, the part about the soup spoon in the restaurant with her husband, the part about the spoon in the house with two black people, and the part about wrapping up the sexually stimulating things in the house after participating in group psychotherapy. It's funny and funny.

The plot unfolds through a dialogue between the heroine and another man, which is also very interesting. The heroine is very good and the other supporting roles are also excellent.
I'm a little worried that the heroine will have some impact on her body and mind after the film, because many scenes in it seem to be played by her.

Regarding the theme, I think of "Dog Town". This film continues to discuss people's rights, bodies, and desires under the topic of sex. Others (especially close ones), as Sartre famously said, are hell. If it was me shooting, I would have photographed the heroine finally getting tired and resting. The finale of the director's filming, while surprising (and understandable), seems too icy. No chance of breathing. The end of this shoot makes the film even more nightmarish.

I don't really understand the part between p and the heroine's ex-husband. After reading some of the other comments, it seems to make sense.

The heroine climbed to the top of the mountain and saw her corresponding tree. This place is very touching. This film is a bit like a person's pursuit of individuation. The heroine still has a lot of energy where the therapy group suddenly freaks out. But she is still vulnerable, and the world in the film continues to be betrayed and abused. This reminds me of "The Life of the Disgusted Matsuko" again.

For women, in the world, self-exploration and self-preservation in social culture are not easy and precious.

Nymphomaniac: Vol. II quotes

  • Joe: Each time a word becomes prohibited, you remove a stone from the Democratic foundation. Society demonstrates its impotence in the face of a concrete problem by removing words from the language. And I say that society is as cowardly as the people in it, who in my opinion are also too stupid for democracy.

  • Joe: The human qualities can be expressed in one word: Hypocrisy. We elevate those who say "right" but mean "wrong" and mock those who say "wrong" but mean "right." By the way, I can assure you that women who claim that negros don't turn them on, they're lying.
