In 2013 Charlotte Garinsbourg starred in Lars von Trier's movie "Nymphomaniac." The movie was made in two parts or "volumes." These screencaps are taken from "Volume Two", and are two separate but related scenes in the movie. In the first, Charlotte's character, Joe, is instructed by her brutal and abusive lover, K (Jamie Bell) on how to tie a blood knot. He explains that she must tie three or four blood knots in each of nine lengths of cord he has laid out. He doesn't explain what it's for (but I'm pretty sure we can all guess.) He puts on a sap glove, hits her in the face, then gags her, and the scene cuts.

In a later scene, he presents her with her Christmas gift, which can't be much of a surprise, since she's made it herself. Kind of a do it yourself regift, I guess. K calls Joe "Fido," which has been thoughtfully inscribed on the handle of the gift. K then proceeds to put Joe's Christmas gift to use.

During the whipping, Joe says in a voice over narration that she ground her clitoris against the edges of the books that had been placed on the armrest of the couch to jack her buttocks up, so she's getting off on the severe punishment.
Yeah, I wrote that. Sorted.
The scene is filmed in the current style of quick cuts and extreme close ups, so we never get an overall look at the whipping, nevertheless, I thought it was extremely realistic. Not particularly erotic, for me. This may sound ridiculous and hypocritical coming from me, but I thought that the relationship between these two is just a little too disturbing to be erotic.
