Kirsten Dunst Wins Best Actress Award at Cannes

Kirsten Dunst was presented with the Prix de l’Interpretation Feminine in Cannes yesterday for her role in the Lars von Trier film “Mein Kampf” “Melancholia.” The Daily Mail says:
Kirsten Dunst conquered the Cannes Film Festival by taking the best actress award from a jury led by Robert De Niro and for a movie made by banned film-maker Lars von Trier.
The 29-year-old star thought her chances of winning at Cannes were dimmed after Von Trier was [banned] by the festival’s board after telling a press conference he understood Hitler and that he ‘was a Nazi’.
She gives a terrific, deeply felt performance in Melancholia as a newly-wed bride who instantly regrets her marriage while at the same time the planet Earth is on collision course with another planet.
Imagine my surprise when I learned that “Prix de l’Interpretation Feminine” wasn’t French for “Teeth Like Nasty Bits of Broken Tile.” And for the record, the banning of Lars von Trier marks the only time in history the French have ever successfully forced a Nazi out of France.
