Lars Von Trier, a Danish director has been banned in the Cannes Film Festival in France after Von Trier produced questionable opinions with regards to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.
The moviemaker stunned journalists and critics at a media convention for his Melancholia debut on Wednesday when Lars Von Trier discontinued on a tangent regarding his German ancestral roots and exactly how he is able to "understand" and "sympathize with" Adolf hitler. Lars Von Trier proceeded to say he is "not against Jews" however released a rant with regards to Israel, labeled it a "pain in the a**."
The filmmaker - whose new movie was already released to excellent recognition from correspondents - was instructed to apologies for his statements to Cannes authorities, who spelled out that he sensed he'd "allowed himself to be egged on by a provocation" throughout the screening process.
Having said that, coordinators at Cannes decide the comments were being too questionable for comfort and ease, and have proclaimed Von Trier "persona non grata" at Cannes festival.
