Lars von Trier declared himself a Nazi yesterday morning, not one by the afternoon, and then found himself banned from the festival that has screened nine of his films in competition. Not a good day at the office, really.
von Trier’s statement, “OK, I’m a Nazi,” came during a press conference for Melancholia, which screened in the main competition. The film isn’t banned from remaining in competition, but in the – now unlikely – event it wins anything its director won’t be accepting any prizes.
