Wait so 'convicted of statutory rape' Roman Polanski is always a welcome figure in Cannes; and 'pleaded no contest to domestic battery (quite apart from his various - very much not joking - racist, sexist and anti-semitic comments)' Mel Gibson was welcomed for The Beaver this week in Cannes; but 'made an idiotic joke that got out of hand' Lars von Trier is now banned from Cannes for good!

Ludicrous. Hypocritical. Nonsense.

I actually don't have a problem with Cannes welcoming Polanski and Gibson - i am looking forward to seeing The Beaver - but this is such hypocrisy it needs addressing.
