Lars von Trier’s internationally acclaimed, cult classic series tells the story of a hospital built on top of the old bleaching ponds in Copenhagen, where evil has taken root and medical science faces a daily struggle with itself; where the Swedes curse the Danes, and the mysterious and inexplicable blend together in a mixture of horror and humor. Featuring the original series The Kingdom I & II in stunningly restored, never-before-seen versions, as well as the long-awaited follow-up series The Kingdom Exodus.
The Kingdom I Strange things are happening in the underbelly of a Danish hospital in Lars von Trier’s long unavailable, cult TV phenomenon – a wickedly funny supernatural mystery. Let the battle between good and evil commence!
The Kingdom II Picking up in the immediate aftermath of the first season’s startling cliffhanger, The Kingdom II sees the troubled hospital plagued by the rise of a greater evil. Masterfully harmonising mordant humor and poignant pathos, Von Trier’s TV phenomenon scales new heights of white-knuckle suspense.
The Kingdom Exodus Von Trier returns to Denmark’s most famous haunted hospital with this dazzling limited event series. Set in the run-up to Christmas, The Kingdom Exodus serves up an incomparable blend of the nightmarish and the absurd as it beats a compulsively entertaining path towards the promise of Armageddon...
