We have received the following message from Lars von Trier concerning an incident that occurred earlier today.

We present it to you without comment, but for more details surrounding von Trier's unceremonious fall from grace at this year's Cannes Film Festival, head this way. 

"Today at 2pm I was questioned by the Police of North Zealand in connection with charges made by the prosecution of Grasse in France from August 2011 regarding a possible violation of prohibition in French law against justification of war crimes."

"The investigation covers comments made during the press conference in Cannes in May 2011. Due to these serious accusations I have realized that I do not possess the skills to express myself unequivocally and I have therefore decided from this day forth to refrain from all public statements and interviews."
