"The Kingdom"
1994
Directed by Lars von Trier
Lars von Trier's
audacious and inspired soap opera is set in Copenhagen's Kingdom Hospital, which is
ailing. Once a respected site of healing, it has become a carnival of horrors. A restless
ghost haunts its corridors crying for redemption. Patients try seances while doctors turn
to exorcism and voodoo. Despite these efforts, the terrible secret at the heart of The
Kingdom remains and continues to ensnare the innocent. This film mixes a range of
influences from the erotic to the sardonic in an unforgettable hybrid of comedy and
terror. Danish with English subtitles. DVD comes with 2 discs.
