The post Lars von Trier and Morten Arnfred – Riget: Exodus AKA The Kingdom: Exodus (2022) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Quote:
This second series ended with even more questions unanswered than the first, and a third series was planned. However, due to the death in 1998 of Ernst-Hugo Järegård (who played Stig Helmer) and the subsequent deaths of Kirsten Rolffes (Mrs Drusse) and Morten Rotne Leffers who played the male dishwasher, the likelihood of a third series is now very remote. Von Trier actually wrote the third and final season, but the production was not picked up by DR. At that point, five regular cast members had died and it seemed impossible to continue the series. The abandoned scripts were sent to the producers of Stephen King’s Kingdom Hospital, but it is unclear whether they used the scripts or not.

The Kingdom is the most technologically advanced hospital in Denmark, a gleaming bastion of medical science. A rash of uncanny occurrences, however, begins to weaken the staff’s faith in science–a phantom ambulance pulls in every night, but disappears; voices echo in the elevator shaft; and a pregnant doctor’s fetus seems to be developing much faster than is natural.

The post Lars von Trier & Morten Arnfred – Riget I AKA The Kingdom (1994)(HD) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Eric M. Nilsson’s rich and multi-layered masterpiece Anonym [Anonymous] avoids to be categorized. It’s a TV documentary, an essay film and a detective story at once. It starts with a finding in a container in central Stockholm; film strips, photographies, magazines and other leftover objects. Who is the man reappearing with a crossed out face? Why has this unknown man left this seemingly unfinished work and what’s his motif for staying anonymous? What is the meaning behind all this – if there is any?

The film then turns into a phantom portrait through interviews with other (less anonymous) people appearing in the found material; actor Ernst-Hugo Järegård, writer Stig Larsson, jesuit priest Rainer Carls and a man called “The Professor”. The conversations alternates between subjects such as creation, communication, meaning and representation.

Quote:
Eric M. Nilsson is constantly occupied with the problems of communication and understanding. His visual language is often clear and modest – his first impulses were from cinéma verité – but the images and sequences are put together in a montage that effectively disrupts conventional narrative unity, a process which is underpinned by the voice-over which, at times, is contrasted with the visual and sometimes confirms it, almost to the point of redundancy. This creates an unstable cinematic universe where the question of truth is in focus but never answered. His first shorts, for example Kök (“Kitchen”, 1963) and Om en cirkus (“About a circus”, 1965) are efforts to approach a physical reality and the interaction between individuals. Some of his films have been portraits of loners, solitary individuals, like Hos Georges (“At Georges’”, 1966), which documents everyday life in a bookshop, or Profeten (“The prophet”, 1984) which deals with a catholic priest working in the most protestant part of France. In Eleonoras testamente (“The testament of Eleonora”, 1967) Nilsson created an early ‘mockumentary’ where he made a parody on cultural journalism in television. Some of his films have been openly autobiographical like Kameliapojken (“The camelia boy”, 1983) and Dubbla verkligheter (“Double realities”, 1995). In the latter, he returns to his childhood in wartime Belgium and the experience of fear and hiding.

There is in Eric M. Nilsson an affinity with the works of, for example, Chris Marker; he turned the documentary into an intellectual and ironic stream of consciousness, reflecting human memory and human language, but never codifying his efforts into a coherent style. Nilsson seems to remain ‘the thin man’ of Swedish film, jumping from one position to another, refusing to stand still.

The post Eric M. Nilsson – Anonym (1991) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Danish television mini-series, created by Lars von Trier in 1994, and co-directed by Lars von Trier and Morten Arnfred.

The series is set in the neurosurgical ward of Copenhagen’s Rigshospitalet, the city and country’s main hospital, nicknamed “Riget”. “Riget” means “the realm” or “the kingdom” and leads one to think of “dødsriget”, the realm of the dead. The show follows a number of characters, both staff and patients, as they encounter bizarre phenomena, both human and supernatural. The show is notable for its wry humor, its muted sepia colour scheme, and the appearance of a chorus of dishwashers with Down Syndrome who discuss in intimate detail the strange occurrences in the hospital.

In 1997 the cast reassembled to produce another group of four episodes, Riget II (The Kingdom II).

This second series ended with even more questions unanswered than the first, and a third series was planned. However, due to the death in 1998 of Ernst-Hugo Järegård (who played Stig Helmer) and the subsequent deaths of Kirsten Rolffes (Mrs Drusse) and Morten Rotne Leffers who played the male dishwasher, the likelihood of a third series is now very remote. Von Trier actually wrote the third and final season, but the production was not picked up by DR. At that point, five regular cast members had died and it seemed impossible to continue the series. The abandoned scripts were sent to the producers of Stephen King’s Kingdom Hospital, but it is unclear whether they used the scripts or not.

Despite being a mini-series, it appears as one of the 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die.

Episodes:
Day 5: “Mors in Tabula” / “Death on the Operation Table”
Day 6: “Trækfuglene” / “Birds of Passage”
Day 7: “Gargantua”
