The Kingdom II

"ach! All that anal sex. In my youth, we always said the proper way in was the one with the doormat." Mrs Druse

It took a month to finish the Kingdom sequel. After all, how often am I going to be in the mood for quirky Danish hospital horror?

But it's still quite wonderful – with ghostly messages hidden in the hospital porter's ancient porn stash, the nymphomaniac lesbian sex clinic possessed by demonic powers, a zombie staffmember, Dr Moesgard terrorised by his therapy group, and Death suddenly popping in as a character “because there's work for me”.

The DVD also features the single most charming DVD special feature of all time, in which Lars Von Trier stars in a complicated dance video based on the show's theme. I can't really see Stephen Poliakoff doing the same.

I've not seen part 2 yet, mainly becuase it isn't available in NTSC format, but I loved Part 1. Stig is my hero! "Danish scum!"

Stig starts talking to the toilet. He is just the most amazing anti hero. He even gets a chase sequence! And an electric car!
