Crazy Director of the Day!
Contestant #1- Almodovar
Spanish film-maker Pedro Almodovar explained Tuesday how he directs his cast and recalled he once performed oral sex on an actress to show how he wanted it done.
"I play all the roles on set," Almodovar said at Cannes where he is attending the premiere of his latest oeuvre "Broken Embraces."
"In a film I made a long time ago ... I even performed cunnilingus on an actress to show the actor how to do it," he said at a press conference as he sat next to Penelope Cruz, who stars in his new movie.
Contestant #2 - Lars Von Trier
Leave it to Lars von Trier to spoil a perfectly pleasant Sunday evening at Cannes with graphically depicted sexual mutilation. The director's Antichrist - starring Charlotte Gainsbourg and Willem Dafoe as a husband and wife grieving the death of their young son - made its debut at the film festival yesterday, earning loud boos and baffled reviews. Why? The movie features graphic sex and a talking fox, but most controversial, apparently, are a pair of vivid scenes in which Gainsbourg's character, who's off her meds, commits acts of unprintable violence on the couples' genitals (raves Variety: "[she] finds a way to impale him that Hollywood's leading torture-porn experts will kick themselves over not having dreamed up first").
Winner
Fucking Tie!
