Danish film director

caused controversy with comments he made at the press conference of his film
Melancholia

in the film and his own German heritage, the director made jokes about Jews and Nazis. He said he understood
Adolf Hitler
and admired the work of architect
Albert Speer
, and jokingly announced that he was a Nazi.
[15]
The Cannes Film Festival first issued an official apology for the remarks the same day and clarified that Trier is not a Nazi or an antisemite,
[16]
then declared the director "
persona non grata
" the following day.

The film remained in competition.
