Brumleby kan beskues fra Rigshospitalet

I was up on the seventh floor yesterday to get a replacement CPAP machine from Rigshospitalet's Respirations Centre
so admired the view as always

Rigshospitalet is the inspiration for and location for RIGET 1994
by Lars von Trier

filmcritic.com Movie Review: The Kingdom (Riget): "I'm not even going to attempt to explain the plot of The Kingdom, as it could fill several pages and still not make a lick of sense. I'll leave it at this: 'The Kingdom' is a giant Copenhagen hospital, and every single room in it (and most of the corridors, and the driveway, and the parking lot) contains at least one complete wacko.

The dearth of information about this 'film' belies its true beginnings as a serialized TV show in Denmark. The movie version of The Kingdomis nothing more than the first 4 episodes (of a planned 13) from this television show slapped back to back, converted to film, and played in all its grainy glory on the big screen."

a sort of Danish TWIN PEAKS

Google Search: "Lars Von Trier"

Lars von Trier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Lars von Trier (born April 30, 1956 in Copenhagen, Denmark) is a Danish film director closely associated with the Dogme95 collective calling for a return to plausible stories in filmmaking and a move away from artifice and towards technical minimalism.

Von Trier also directed The Kingdom (Riget) and The Kingdom II, a pair of miniseries for Danish television about a haunted hospital. A projected third installment in the series has been derailed due to the death of Ernst-Hugo Järegård, who played Helmer, one of the major characters. A thirteen-episode American television series, based on The Kingdom, was written by Stephen King, under the title Stephen King's Kingdom Hospital, which was broadcast in 2004."
