One of the great cult series that has reinvented television since the early nineties, the Danish signature ‘Kingdom’ Lars von Trierwas, until recently, one of the hardest to find; sometimes it was mistreated in its local editions and did not appear on the platforms. Luckily for fans of the series and companion movie fans, the early-June purchase film of the entire series: The first two seasons (1994 and 1997) in its restored versionLaunched in September and a The third and final (2022), 8 of which will reach our astonished eyes on Tuesday.
Although Von Trier sold this last installment, ‘Kingdom Exit’almost as an independent entity, clear continue and it is recommended to review or review the first two volumes before starting. As a quick reminder, we will define ‘Kingdom’ as a ‘Kingdom’. intersection of hospital drama, black comedy and supernatural ‘thriller’ It is located in the neurosurgery area of ​​Rigshospitalet (or ‘Kingdom Hospital’) in Copenhagen. As reported in the introduction to the series, it’s a monument of progress and science built on an ancient swamp where whitewash was once and steam covered the atmosphere with supernatural breaths. The ancient ghosts seem to want to break through the walls of the Kingdom, to the worry of the unique staff and patients who are sick enough to put up with each other..
If public broadcaster DR had not dared with ‘El Reino’, most likely ‘Kill’, ‘Heritage’, ‘Borgen’ or ‘The Killing’ would never have existed. Any of the ambitious titles used by European fiction surprised in the last ten and a half years. Inspired by handheld camera ‘Murder’ and the collapse of the ‘soap opera’ ‘Twin Peaks’, von Trier created an unidentified television object that captured a variety of audiences. Its turbulent forms make it almost an outline of the famous manifesto Dogma95, which its author co-wrote with his colleague Thomas Vinterberg in March 1995.
old and new faces
While the handheld camera of ‘The Kingdom Exodus’ is more refined, less guerrilla, re-entering the gates of Rigshospitalet is suddenly like traveling to the nineties. This is not a radical ‘reboot’ in the style of ‘Twin Peaks: The Return’, but an almost nostalgic, logical and coherent extension of what was seen in those days. watch there introduction to swamp ghostswave crazy song (“kingdom!”) composed by von Trierwaves final reflections of the above in each chapter, now arrogantly took refuge behind a red veil: “Age has harmed me.” this Diagnosed with Parkinson’s during filming not with his energy or his sense of humor.
Old characters like the anesthesiologist Rigmor also return (Ghita Norby) has now been admitted to the hospital and has turned into the terror of the elevators (“yoo-hooo!”); former medical student Moggen (Peter Mygindalso known as ‘Borgen’ Worker Michael Laugesen) or resident doctor Hook (soren pilmark), who bred a punk mohawk.
And even the new characters look like versions of the old ones. Sleepwalker Karen (Bodil Jorgensen, also in ‘Fools’ Karen), continues the investigation initiated by Ms. Drusse and searches for lost souls (in this case, Little Brother) around the hospital. Coming from Sweden with hypocritical ideas of diversity and gender equality, the new GP, Helmer Jr (Lars Mickelsen), eldest son of the less arrogant Helmer (deceased) Ernst Hugo Jaregard). Y Alexander Scarsgard He replaced his (real) father, Stellan, as a Swedish lawyer. There is also a Greek dishwasher choir made up of a young man suffering from Progeria (Jesper Sorensen) and a robot called BOB 2.0 that warns us of the inevitable: The title Exodus is a great exodus where good and evil spirits will pass through the gates of the Kingdom..
Von Trier handles combustible material as usual: Willem Dafoe finds himself in a parodic key; experiments on the relationship between pain and white noise; copies; A clear and perverted reference to giant hearts or the series ‘Hospital’, the weirdest finale in television history. The one from ‘The Kingdom Exodus’ is also not missing.
