Banned Nymphomaniac sex scene causes controversy

That Lars von Trier's upcoming drama Nymphomaniac is a bit racy will come as no surprise to anyone.

But the latest clip released from the movie has been deemed to steamy for YouTube.

The minute-long clip, originally posted last week, is taken from the movie’s fifth chapter titled ‘Little Organ School’. It features several actors in explicit sex scenes, including a “carefully shot” Shia LaBeouf and a full-frontal Stacy Martin receiving oral sex from an older man.

YouTube has since reversed its decision and restored the clip on the site with an age-restriction warning, telling THR: "With the massive volume of videos on our site, sometimes we make the wrong call.

"When it's brought to our attention that a video has been removed mistakenly, we act quickly to reinstate it."

The film’s producer Louise Vesth revealed earlier this year that although ‘Nymphomaniac’ would feature real sex, there would also be some CGI trickery involved:

“We shot the actors pretending to have sex and then had the body doubles, who really did have sex,” she told The Hollywood Reporter, “and in post [production] we will digital-impose the two.”

Helmed by infamous Danish director von Trier, ‘Nymphomaniac’ follows Joe, a self-confessed sex addict who recounts the story of her troubled life to an ageing bachelor after he finds her beaten in an alley.

The film’s ensemble cast – including Charlotte Gainsbourg, Christian Slater, Uma Thurman, Shia LaBeouf, Willem Dafoe, Sophie Kennedy Clark, Jamie Bell, Stellan Skarsgard. Connie Nielsen, Jens Albinus, Mia Goth, Nicolas Bro, Stacey Martin and Udo Kier – recently caused controversy when the 14 leads each posed for their own “orgasmic” character poster.

‘Nymphomaniac’ is out in the UK 2014, with a date yet to be confirmed.
