125' - 2022 - Mystery, Fantasy, Comedy - Dialogue: Danish

After four years of silence, Lars von Trier is back! Not with a new film, but with the third (and final) season of his series The Kingdom. Madness in a hospital as only von Trier can dream it.

The screening includes the first two episodes of The Kingdom Exodus.

Heavily influenced by the ghostly series The Kingdom, the sleepwalker Karen seeks answers to the unresolved questions of the series in order to save the hospital from doom. Sound asleep one night, Karen wanders into the darkness and inexplicably ends up in front of the hospital. The gate to the Kingdom is opening once more…
"A quarter-century after Lars von Trier painted himself into a corner with his loony sendup of primetime soap operas and medical malpractice, the director finds a devilish way to wrap it all up. The Kingdom Exodus begins with a joke, and for the next five hours, it never gets serious, not even for a second." - Variety
