If this festival does not protect its artists who really care about the bad and evil, it will sooner or later loose its artists.
Anti-Christ was born out of mid-eval witch torture, Nymphomaniac about a comment from his DP that older directors usually start to show younger and naked girls, but now I think he will concentrate on the effort how to attract masses to act self destructively. And to effectively do so, every artist has to sympathize with the morally “evil”. Otherwise you will never be able to use its methods, and seduce the audience. Zach Snyder or Rammstein effectively play the NAZI aesthetics and are very successful.
I prefer if liberal and intelligent artists like von Trier use these methods. So people can actually reflect on it. And may become immune against the daily fascism.
Anyway, Cannes is not attractive anymore and no-one will dare to speak up on topics which will get dangerously shortened and witch-hunted by the press.
Lost already. Thierry must step down immediately, and all artists and journalists should boycott Cannes.
The “von” is a title belonging to the name and was only forbidden in Austria and the eastern block countries.
All other europeans were allowed to keep their aristocratic roots – and kings.
