The Kingdom (1994)
Rating: ★★★★
Dec 16, 2001Haunted Hospital/Black Comedy
Danish tv mini-series co-directed by Lars von Trier set in a haunted hospital. This comes with a blacker-than-black sense of humour in its interwoven character strands plus moments that are genuinely eerie

The Kingdom II (1997)
Rating: ★★★
Sep 30, 1999Haunted Hospital/Black Comedy
Follow-up to Lars von Trier's haunted hospital mini-series The Kingdom. The story is continued, although the plot seems rickety and either drops elements or veers off on other tangents as though it is being made up as people go along

It’s All About Love (2003)
Rating: ★★★
Jan 20, 2016Near-Future/Reconciliation Drama
An SF outing from Thomas Vinterberg that proved a flop with audiences. It is never satisfying as an SF film but you cannot deny it is directed with a beautiful and sophisticated cool that draws you inside it

Rating: ★★★★
Sep 21, 2014Strange Apartment Neighbours/Reality Blurring
Brilliantly twisted Norwegian film in the vein of Roman Polanski's Repulsion and The Tenant about a man whose dealings with two girls living in the apartment next door starts blurring and shifting into some genuinely surreal and out there, not to mention perverse, territory

Melancholia (2011)
Rating: ★★★
Nov 20, 2011Depression and the End of the World
Lars von Trier’s exploration of his depression continues in this nihilistic end of the world film. It is bleak and relentless but the characters are opaque in their motivations. Somehow I prefer von Trier back in agent provocateur mode

Perfect Sense (2011)

Perfect Sense (2011)
Rating: ★★★½
May 26, 2014World Where People Start Losing Their Sensory Perceptions
Remarkable film set in a world where people start to progressively lose each of their senses. Much of the film works as a character drama rather than a catastrophe film but its portrait of how the world tries to cope in the aftermath of the loss of another sense makes for top-notch science-fiction
