Director Lars von Trier’s magnum opus, The Kingdom is a TV phenomenon three decades in the making. A compulsively entertaining supernatural mystery, this incomparable blend of workplace comedy, potent melodrama, and nail-biting ghost story pitches science against superstition in unholy conflict.

Synopsis
Strange things are happening in the underbelly of a Danish hospital, where the ghost of a young girl cries in the elevator shaft, a phantom ambulance appears nightly, and secret societies meet in the basement. Tensions rise among staff, oblivious to the dark force awakening beneath the hospital.
Our take
Strange things are happening in the underbelly of a Danish hospital in Lars von Trier’s long unavailable, cult TV phenomenon. Masterfully harmonizing mordant humor and poignant pathos, The Kingdom I is a wickedly funny occult mystery. Let the battle between good and evil commence!
