Lars von Trier er smidt ud fra Cannes

Efter Lars von Triers uheldige udtalelser omkring nazismen under pressemødet for hans nyeste film “Melancholia” har Cannes-ledelsen valgt at smide filmmageren ud af festivalen.

Dette betyder i første omgang dog ikke, at hans film “Melancholia” ikke længere er velkommen – men Trier selv er persona non grata. Hvorvidt, dette blot gælder i år eller også fremover, er endnu uvist.

Trier har sidenhen undskyldt for udtalelserne, som han indrømmer var uheldige, men som han selv mener, han blev provokeret til at sige af nogle journalister.

Både Zentropas Peter Ålbæk og det meste af filmbranchen har allerede taget afstand til Triers udtalelser, som dog i første omgang ikke skader “Melancholia”, der allerede er blevet solgt til distribution i alle større markeder.

#79: Det er især en god pointe, han afslutter med. :)

Det var kun et spørgsmål om tid...:

Ejhhh, seriøst mand. Jeg har virkelig stor medlidenhed med Kirsten. Hun var virkelig røget ud i sin største udfordring som skuespiller.

"VON TRIER AT CANNES: FRENCH HYPOCRISY AT ITS WORST"
http://www.filmmakermagazine.com/news/2011/05/von-trier-at-cannes-french-hypocrisy-at-its-worst/ skrev:
Laws about expressing antisemitism are strict here (six months in prison, clearly related to the extensive collaboration by the French with the Nazis). Indeed France is one of two western European countries, the other being Holland, that lost the highest proportion of their Jewish population, frequently with the assistance of non-Jewish civilians — and by most accounts, antisemitism is rampant in contemporary France (although they like to blame it on Muslim immigrants; I’ve lived and worked in France, and experienced anti-semitism for the first time here).

Compare France’s Vichy track record with von Trier’s native Denmark, which was also under Nazi occupation (but hardly collaborative): Not only did the Danes save virtually all of their Jews (boating them to Sweden in the middle of the night), but when the Germans demanded that all Danish Jews wear a yellow star, the country’s king came out in public with one sewn on his jacket.

[...]

The tragicomic is the norm among many of my fellow Jews, so it’s not inconsistent that von Trier made comments he considered humorous at a press conference following the gloriously heavy Melancholia. Yoav Shamir’s fantastic documentary Defamation showed Anti-Defamation League leader Abraham Foxman, who led the outrage against von Trier, to be the fool and opportunist he is. Little did one expect that things would go so far, so that TV bites today make it sound like von Trier simply admires Hitler. Could any of this be related to Cannes’s status as a winter refuge for wealthier Jews, and a year-round one for a large number of Orthodox and Hasidic Jews?

#86 Herligt! Howard Feinstein to the rescue. Godt at se, at sort humor også eksisterer blandt efterkommere til Holocaust tragedien.

#87: Hvorefter han publicerede et interessant interview med von Trier:
"INTERVIEW | Lars von Trier: “I will never do a press conference again.”"

Jeg vil også lige fremhæve Zacharys kommentar, der i den grad rammer hovedet på sømmet:
http://www.indiewire.com/article/interview_lars_von_trier_i_will_never_do_a_press_conference_again/ skrev:
No one who’s seen Bruno Ganz play Hitler in “Downfall” can deny feeling sympathy for the man.

But what I think is key: This situation with Lars cannot be adequately judged in black and white. Refn’s remark and Cannes’ decision to declare him persona non grata—they’re calculated and precise in a way that Lars is not (in either his work or in his public performances). His work notoriously navigates gray areas. He prods, he explores, he feels out a subject. In this way, he expels the concept of black and white. The world we live in, which moves at high speeds and allows us limited time to give thought or care to any one event or idea, detests what cannot be explained in a sentence. Sound bytes have become three words in quotes: “I’m A Nazi.” The press and much of the public will not tolerate the time or care it takes to consider the complexities of any given situation. So Cannes responds in a way that there can be no doubt of their stance; as does Refn, as do some others. They understand how they will be perceived. They know not to include a single false word. They know not to meander in their response to Lars’ comments. Get to the point, is the point. And look good.

Lars doesn’t operate this way. Those who are seeking to understand why he would say these things, are finding the human inside him. Those who are reading the headlines and watching the three-minute clip, and posting Facebook statuses about him being an “asshat,” well… They believe the person is the sound byte, the sound byte is the person. And that, to me, is tragic.


Jeg forstår sgu godt, at von Trier bliver sur over Refns udtalelse. Refn forstår spillets regler og undlader bevidst at begive sig ud på isen, hvilket sikrer hans omdømme samt chancen for at plukke Palmen. Men det sker på bekostning af muligheden for at hjælpe en god ven i land.

Hjælpe en god ven i land? Han må sgu da redde sin egen røv med de kommentarer.
Refn er i Cannes pga sin film...ikke Trier.

At bringe Hitler på banen og sige han er Nazi er da ikke den bedste måde at hive sin landsmænd til redning af egen røv, når de er der pga af deres film...måske deres bedste film!

Trier er en fin fyr...vil jeg mene trods alt, selvom han kom på glatis med sin kommentarer...
Seføli er han ikke nazi eller jødehader osv. Man joker bare ikke med det. Og det er heller ikke en undskyldning. Bare for dumt.

Men at bringe Refn ind i det og sige han han er ego, er da....lad os bare sige....ubetænktsomt.

Spillets regler? Tja....spil efter dem...så går det nok ik så galt.

Hej Bruce.

Har du et direkte link til dit indlæg om Emir Kustorica?

Grunden til at jeg spørger er at jeg her til aften i hyggeligt samvær med mine udenlandske venner, kom til at diskuterer Lars von Trier. Den ene var for manden, den anden imod. Selv erindrede jeg svagt dit indlæg og tilbød dem at sende det, så de kunne få et lidt mere nuanceret billede af begivenheden at forholde sig til. Det du skrev i #72 synes jeg selv kunne være interessant for mine udenlandske venner at stifte bekendtskab med.

På forhånd tak.
Den Jyske Marvel-fan. Oh Yeah
