It's a difficult task to make a more provocative poster than one featuring a film's entire cast giving their best O-face—but leave it to Lars von Trier's next film, Nymphomaniac, to pull it off effortlessly. In these two new promos for the movie, we get a look at two items that are supposed to be rather...well, suggestive.

Now: The whip prop is understandable—this is, after all, a movie about sex. But the fish hook?

As previously reported, the film will be released in two parts, to ensure no one is sitting in a theater for five hours straight watching everyone from Charlotte Gainsbourg to Stellan Skarsgard have sex over and over. The first installment will be released on video on demand March 6 before heading into theaters on March 21, and the second installment will be released on video on demand on April 3 before heading into theaters on April 18. There will also be a 5 and a half hour director's cut, if you're into that sort of thing.

You can check out the posters above.
