Lars Von Trier just can't stop talking about Nazis
Lars Von Trier can’t quite shake his Nazi obsession, relentlessly poking at his recent Nazi comments at Cannes like some sort of mental cold sore, if a cold sore had killed millions of Jews. To be fair, it’s one of those conversational rabbit holes so many of us have tumbled down, where you make one little joke about how you understand Hitler, and then you have to spend the next several months talking about Nazis to everyone you see—because to not talk about Nazis would just seem like you were avoiding the whole Nazi thing, and that would probably just make the whole Nazi thing even worse, right? We’ve all been there. Anyway, Von Trier most recently trotted out his thoughts on Nazis for a Berlin crowd—where, let’s face it, not talking about Nazis would be like Lynyrd Skynyrd playing Tuscaloosa and skipping “Sweet Home Alabama.”
