Features: DVD, English, Subtitled
Acclaimed director Lars von Trier (Dogville, Dancer in the Dark) delves into the world of the supernatural. At The Kingdom, Denmark's most technologically advanced hospital, a number of strange and otherworldly events begin to occur, much to the dismay of its doctors and patients. The chilling series that inspired Stephen King's Kingdom Hospital.
"Lars von Trier has a wicked sense of humor." Barbara Shulgasser, San Franciso Examiner
"While its sheer length makes The Kingdom demanding, it is not only as rewarding as many other ambitious screen odysseys but a lot more fun." Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

| | Professional Reviews | James Berardinelli's ReelViews 6 of 10
Since its 1994 release, The Kingdom has spawned a cult-like following, which was only to be expected considering its unusual material and style. This is the kind of motion picture that leaves mainstream audiences shaking their heads. Still, as much as I generally enjoy offbeat fare, I found myself strangely dissatisfied with The Kingdom. The ultimate payoff doesn't seem to justify the time invested. Von Trier's production has its share of high points, to be sure -- it's just a question of whether there are enough. - James Berardinelli
