To let you know how much I love this Danish mini-series: I own it on both VHS and DVD.
This is one of the more accessible Lars von Trier films (mostly known for the Bjork-starring movie Dancer In the Dark).
Set in a hospital that may or may not be on top of a bunch of dead spirits, The Kingdom is full of oddball characters. From pill-popping doctors, to down-syndrome children as nurses aides, to psychic patients, this is one trippy/funny/spooky show. Highly reccomended.
Here’s the blurb from Netflix:
Originally produced for Danish television, Morten Arnfred and Lars von Trier’s spooky drama set in a cutting-edge hospital follows the staff as they encounter unexplainable supernatural goings-on in the facility. Rattled by the bizarre occurrences, the medical workers eventually begin to question their faith in pure science, affording the sinister, unearthly spirits the opportunity to gain a greater foothold in this world.
