Lars von Trier’s Hitler jokes further annoy Cannes organizers

It seems hilariously obvious to anybody reading the transcript of his “Melancholia” press conference that Lars von Trier was joking when he comically went off on his fellow Dane, Oscar winning director Susanne Bier (who is Jewish, and a friend of his) and tossed in a few words about Hitler at a press conference at Cannes.


He said he had decided was a Nazi and that he understands Hitler.


Here’s the video of the comments in question.


The first reports of this press conference suggested that the folks there sort of got it, too. Though some (check out cast member Kirsten Dunst, failing to laugh when she should have) perhaps not picking up on Von Trier’s gift for the deadpan delivery of outrageous statements (He does this sort of thing in most interviews, told me once how useless he thought his cast when I got him on set of one of his films) were a bit slack-jawed.


The Cannes organizers have gotten into a bigger and bigger huff over it.
They’ve banned him from Cannes. “Persona non grata.” Bummer.


Where is their collective sense of humor? Maybe Bier ought to say something. Or is it funnier to watch Von Trier twist in the wind?


Watch the video. Did you think he was joking?

Interesting how they ban Lars for making a questionable joke but they fall all over themselves when Roman Polanski walks into the room. At least they’re still keeping Melancholia around. And it looks like Kirsten Dunst’s humor is on par with her acting ability.

Polanski is a genius!

If your idea of a genius is a pedophile, I guess you must think the coverup report just released by the Catholic Church is also a work of genius. Many of us think otherwise.

I read all about this before seeing the clip itself. I went in thinking, ok, maybe he’s really joking. But there’s nothing remotely funny about the content, and there’s nothing in his delivery that tells me he’s being funny. Deadpan delivery has its own trademarks … I just don’t see it here.


The sight of the lovely Ms. Dunst shooting him dagger after dagger is an odd sort of entertainment, though.

Further context, he’d just cracked that his star, Kirsten Dunst, was doing a “porno” next.
He was joking. That’s probably why she wasn’t laughing. And for a Dane, he’s no Victor Borge. The Bier jabs gave it away for me. They have been friends/rivals for ages.
To me, Dunst could have laughed at the right moment and ended the whole thing, right then and there. He was fishing for a laugh that didn’t come. Been there, done that. So has Michael Richards, among others.
And Bier will probably be the one who speaks up and makes all right in the ex-Dogme 95 Universe.

It doesn’t look he has the gift of deadpan delivery at all.


Watch the longer version. No idea he’s rambling about, other than Hitler and Nazis.

They ban a guy for a few jokes and let that child-molesting Piece of S*&tT travel anywhere and do whatever he wants, the French are a nation of whores… the next time Gerrmany comes in to say hello, we drop them Berlitz or Rosetta stone courses so they can learn the language cause they’re on their own!!

Polanski is a child rapist.

Please watch *Wanted and Desired* – a great documentary on the Polanski case. Inform yourself.

Seriously? The French “soul searching” that’s going on right now might very well be spilling over to Polanski. Protecting a groper/rapist is little better than looking the other way at a serial pedophile, whose victims are not limited to the one that got him convicted.
