| Brief Description: | 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. |
