Cannes bans von Trier after Hitler remarks
Organizers say Danish director's comments were ‘unacceptable, intolerable’
On Wednesday, von Trier told reporters at the "Melancholia" news conference that he had some compassion for Hitler.
"What can I say? I understand Hitler, but I think he did some wrong things, yes, absolutely. But I can see him sitting in his bunker in the end," von Trier said. "He's not what you would call a good guy, but I understand much about him, and I sympathize with him a little bit. But come on, I'm not for the Second World War, and I'm not against Jews. ...

"I am very much for Jews. No, not too much, because Israel is a pain in the ass."
Von Trier went on to say he admired Hitler aide Albert Speer. The remarks came as von Trier discussed his German heritage.
In an interview afterward, von Trier said he had been joking and that the remarks had spilled out without any forethought.
