Danish cinema's not-so-enfant terrible, Lars von Trier, came to Cannes this year trailing Melancholia, a beautifully mounted apocalyptic drama, which, compared to his previous cinematic assault, Antichrist, had all the shock value of a children's tea party. There was no graphic sex, no horrific close up of clitoral self-mutilation, no violence. It was up to Von Trier to personally up the ante at the now notorious post-screening press conference that sent shock waves along the Croisette.
