Cannes: Sympathy for the devil


Danish director Lars Von Trier, whose new film Melancholia, premiered on Wednesday, raised eyebrows earlier at a press conference, where he expressed sympathy for Adolf Hitler.



“OK, I’m a Nazi,” he says at one point. Kirsten Dunst, sitting next to him, looks ready to crawl under the table. A post-screening dinner for 40 people and an after-party were canceled, The New York Times reported. Evidence of more fallout remains to be seen.
