Javad Shamaqdari, gigantic asshole.Sometimes an artist with a reputation for brilliant and eccentric works, average Netflix ratings, and a handful of festival awards will get it in his head that Nazi jokes and anti-Semitic comments are just “fun” and that he is immune from ridicule and pariah-status because of his self-contained brilliance, quirks, and Euro-indie cred. After watching the video of von Trier's transgression it’s pretty obvious he fell victim to his brain’s faulty wiring in handling awkward and unnatural (for him) public situations. Considering certain semantic idiosyncrasies, one could forgive von Trier for his poor translation of Danish slang—he says he called himself a Nazi because he is of German stock.
