Von Trier canned over Nazi comments
"The festival's board of directors ... profoundly regrets that this forum has been used by Lars Von Trier to express comments that are unacceptable, intolerable, and contrary to the ideals of humanity and generosity that preside over the very existence of the festival," the festival said in a statement.
"The board of directors firmly condemns these comments and declares Lars Von Trier a persona non grata at the Festival de Cannes, with effect immediately."
The director made his comments at a press conference to promote his new film Melancholia , which played in competition last night. http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2011/0519/breaking25.html
