Lars Von Trier, who apologized for joking during a Cannes Film Festival press conference for Melancholia that he was a Nazi and had sympathy for Adolf Hitler, is now taking back his apology.

You read that correctly.

In fact, hes not sorry at all for his controversial comments, which led to him being banned from the festival.

The director tells the October issue of GQ, To sa y Im sorry for what I said is to say Im sorry for what kind of a person I am, Im sorry for my morals, and that would destroy me as a person. Its not true. Imnot sorry.I am not sorry for what I said.

He added, Im sorry that it didnt come out more clearly. Im not sorry that I made a joke, but Im sorry that I didnt make it clear that it was a joke. But I cant be sorry for what I said its against my nature.

When Trier made his Nazi joke at the Cannes Film Festival, one could see in the video (below) that hisMelancholia starKirsten Dunst was increasing uncomfortable and mortified.

What do you think about Von Trier retracting his apology?
