Cannes is set to add the newest film from Lars von Trier to its 2018 lineup, ending a seven-year ban of the controversial director at the film festival.
Von Trier has denied the allegations, though conceded that he and Björk were “definitely not friends” during production on the film.
Von Trier was made persona non grata by Cannes after jokingly declaring himself a Nazi and expressing sympathy for Adolf Hitler during a 2011 press conference for his Palme d’Or-nominated film Melancholia.
Among the films selected are provocative Argentinian director Gaspar Noé’s latest effort Climax and Panos Cosmatos’s horror film Mandy, which stars Nicolas Cage.
