I have just finished watching Kingdom I and Kingdom II from the Independent Film Channel. It left off with too many things left unresolved. I have not seen the Stephen King version as yet (I'm waiting for the 1st season and/or complete series depending on renewal) and I wanted to catch up on the characters.
I found it odd that Hook from Kingdom is Kroj in Kingdom II unless Kroj is Danish for Hook. The reveal of the agent of Satan was a surprise. One would like to think that this agent and the Satanists are found out and put down. It is ironic that Christian endangers Sanne and Mogge by trying to impress her. One looks forward to seeing the lying Swede meet the writer whose work he had stolen. The Downs Syndrome Greek chorus works better in subtitled Danish than it does in English I hear.
In other words, despite the 9 hour length of both Kingdoms together, one does get caught up in the karma of its characters. The perverse pavane they dance around each other is fascinating to watch. One would hope that good will be rewarded and evil at least slowed down a bit.
However, it has been several years since Kingdom II and I see no listing of a Kingdom III on the Lars Von Trier horizon. Perhaps the cast cannot be reunited or lacks the urge to do so. Perhaps they are no longer available. If nothing else, maybe it could be done as a graphic novel.
Whatever the case, I highly recommend Kingdoms I & II for former Twin Peaks fans and other lovers of the character driven grotesque allegories. However, be prepared to be left hanging and hungry for more.
Let there be a Kingdom III. Let there be a Kingdom I & II on DVD in the USA.
