Kirsten Dunst Prevails at Cannes Despite Her Director's Best Efforts

In case you hadn’t heard, there was a major scandale (that’s “scandal” in French) last week at the Cannes Film Festival over statements made by director and provocateur Lars von Trier. To recap: during a press conference for his film Melancholia, von Trier went off on a twisted, tangled, painful tangent and said he was a Nazi. He later apologized for the statement, but the Cannes folks banned him from the event and declared him “persona non grata.”
