Naman Ramachandran Danish auteur Lars von Trier is coming to terms with continuing his distinguished career with Parkinson’s Disease, which he has been diagnosed with. The filmmaker did a press conference and select media interviews via Zoom for the Venice Film Festival, where his latest work, MUBI and Viaplay series “The Kingdom Exodus,” premiered.

And that’s a pity for the [“The Kingdom Exodus”] actors, but I think they did okay,” von Trier said.
When asked by Variety about what he would work on next, given his current medical condition, von Trier said: “I will take a little break and find out what to do. But I certainly hope that my condition will be better. It’s a disease you can’t take away; you can work with the symptoms, though.”
“I just have to get used to that I shake and not be shameful in front of people. And then continue because what else should I do?,” von Trier added. “The Kingdom Exodus,” the third and final season of von Trier’s “The Kingdom” series, had its public premiere on Thursday at Venice in front of an adoring crowd who cheered every time von Trier’s name appeared on screen or was mentioned. He introduced the screening via a video recording and name checked the Italian masters of cinema who have influenced his oeuvre, including Fellini, Rossellini, Antonioni, Pasolini, Leone and Morricone, among many others. Cast members Bodil Jørgensen, Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Nicolas Bro and Ida Engvoli were present at the screening. When asked why he chose to return to “The Kingdom” series, which had its

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic “The Kingdom Exodus” begins with a joke, and for the next five hours, it never gets serious, not even for a second. That’s not what you might expect for the long-delayed finale to Lars von Trier’s made-for-TV horror series, though it sure makes this over-the-top return to the haunted Rigshospitalet — that big, brutalist medical center in the heart of Copenhagen — a lot more fun. For all of two minutes, von Trier tricks us into thinking that maybe this third season is going to look like a polished, peak-TV miniseries of the sort you might find on HBO or Netflix (after all, the original series came out in 1994, one year before the artifice-renouncing Danish revolution that was Dogme 95, and von Trier has since gone back to making dark fantasies with heightened style). We open on a closeup of a woman’s eye, ideally lit and steadily framed, reflecting a TV screen on which a tuxedoed von Trier appears, a quarter-century younger, over the credits of Season 2’s final episode.
