This early triumph by Lars von Trier, which won no less than three prizes at Cannes, is one of his most bizarre yet accessible works: a feverish retooling of film noir, an unhinged thriller, and a visually mind-blowing odyssey into a nightmare of our past.

Dr. Krogshøj’s life is hanging by a thread. Moesgaard manages to avert conflicts in the ward, but the Kingdom is still in danger of falling apart. After coming face to face with Satan incarnate, Mrs. Drusse must depend on Bulder’s knowledge about the deepest and darkest corners of the Kingdom.
