Lars Von Trier Nazi
Von Trier took to the stage with his cast and crew earlier today for a long and rambling press conference in which he declared himself (jokingly, I think) a Nazi and said he had sympathy for Hitler.
The entire press conference is online here but I've pulled the relevant quotes:
For a long time I thought I was a Jew and I was happy to be a Jew. Then I met Susanne Bier [she's Jewish] and I wasn't so happy. But then I found out I was actually a Nazi. My family were German. And that also gave me some pleasure. What can I say? I understand Hitler ... I sympathize with him a bit. I don't mean I'm in favor of World War II and I'm not against Jews, not even Susanne Bier. In fact I'm very much in favor of them. All Jews. Well, Israel is a pain in the ass but ... Now how can I get out of this sentence? Ok. I'm a Nazi.
Worth noting is that he also claimed in the same press conference that his next film would be a three-to-four hour long porn film starring Melancholia's Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg.
