Van controversiële regisseur Lars von Trier is dit de eerste uit zijn Golden Heart trilogie, gevolgd door The Idiots en de Palme d’Or winnaar Dancer in the Dark. Met Emily Watson in topvorm: Breaking the Waves blijft voor altijd één van Von Trier’s beste werken.

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.

Lars von Trier has never been shy to burnish his reputation as the malevolent puppet master of his protagonists’ misfortune, but never quite so literally as in this playful documentary. One of the great films about filmmaking, The Five Obstructions is a reflexive marvel of cinematic problem solving.
