| 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. |
