Von Trier, who won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 2000 for his drama Dancer in the Dark, was banned from the festival this year after saying that he sympathized with Adolf Hitler.
His long awaited movie, Melancholia, was not taken out of the competition, however, and Kirsten Dunst, who played the main part in the movie, received the Palme d’Or as best actress. The movie tells the story of two sisters (Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg), one of whom is preparing to have an incredible wedding.
But the celebration is in danger as a nearby planet called Melancholia threatens to collide with the Earth.
