The talented mr. Van Trier

What a press conference!

The poor man.

I have never seen a man dig himself into such a mess before. It was like watching suicide live on tv.

Of course everybody can see where he meant to take it but the wording got in the way and instead of putting a point to it and start the thought from scratch he really totally fucked himself.

Ending up talking about wanting a "final solution" for journalists, talking about admiring Albert speers work and saying "Im a Nazi".

Of course there is a context but at a certain point what you say exceeds the context and creates his own.

I dont think this man will make many more movies on international scale - this will drive everybody in their right mind away.

And leave him to deal with his (self admitted) alcohol problem and his Melancholie!
