Danish director Lars von Trier is known for being an, ahem, rather unpleasant man- he refuses to fly, he psychologically tortures his leading ladies (Nicole Kidman famously once asked him why he hates women), and recently he was banned from the Cannes Film Festival for saying he "understood" Hitler. But you gotta give the man one thing- he finally got Kirsten Dunst to bare her Kirsten cunst.

We reported earlier this year that Dunst makes her full-frontal debut in Von Trier's latest gloom-and-doom masterpiece, Melancholia- you can even catch a faraway glimpse of her totally nude and lying on a rock in the film's trailer (seen at left). In advance of Melancholia's stateside debut, Kirsten was interviewed by Elle magazine about her experiences filming the movie. Snatchurally, the subject of nudes came up:

One of the surprises about Melancholia is Kirsten's curvaceous body. She is naked in several scenes and as Von Trier refuses any form of retouching or airbrushing, surely it caused some anxiety?

'I trusted everyone and the lighting was beautiful. I didn't work out beforehand, it was all very natural. I don't have any real body issues. I never really overeat, I shed weight in the summer, put it on in the winter and yes, I do have big boobs. People don't realize because I cover up a lot, but they are there. Big boobs.'

Oh, we've realized for years, Kirsten- ever since that skintillating nip slip of yours in Crazy/Beautiful (2001).

In other Von Trier nudes, the director has just announced his next project, the titillatingly titled Nymphomaniac. The movie will depict "the sexual evolution of a woman from birth to age 50", and the always-tactful Dane has already confirmed that “As a cultural radical I can’t make a film about the sexual evolution of a woman from zero to 50 without showing penetration.”

Oh, Lars. You're a kook, but you're our kind of kook.
