What von Trier really said about the Nazis...

Further to last week's podcast in which Tim and I discuss (among other things) Lars von Trier's doomed rant at the Cannes film festival, here is exactly what the Dane said at that infamous press conference.

It doesn't come across well. I still think that he was partially undone by the pressure of the spotlight (let's not forget this is a man with a very fragile personality, having spent inordinate amounts of time in psychiatric wards for extreme anxiety, neuroses and depression) and also let down by his command of English, but watching it is really cringe-inducing.

Also, this is the 300th post on The Film Brief. Yyyaaayyy *blows party whistle*
