Brilliant, quirky slice of genius from Lars Von Trier back
in 94. I have just finished watching the first 2 episodes
and will try and conclude the series tonight. I love the
characters and despite the whole girl-ghost thing being a
little cliche even for the time it was made, it is still
brilliant. It really is like a Danish Twin Peaks in places.
Stig is just the most brilliant character ever.

Any fans?

Incidentally, I watched the american remake "Kingdom
Hospital" before I watched this. I actually like both as
they are quite different in places, but the original is
still the best. I love the grainy, shakeycam aesthetics too.

Big fan. It's probably some of the best danish television
ever produced. Lars Von Triers best, in my eyes. It's the
perfect combination of being eerie, and absolutely hilarious
at times!

yep, super series. the mongs are great, however i think the
profoundness doesnt really translate if you dont understand
danish

I would actually like to see the english translation. If
they did a good job, i believe it could be done.

A sidestory: One of my friend is a huge Udo Kier fan, and at
that time, worked at a gas station. Then one day, he
actually walks in, buys some gas and some chocolate! My
friend went insane, and said to him how great he was and all
that. He was very polite, modest and grateful.

It actually spawned a catchphrase here... "er du min far?"

I think that's an auto-catchphrase. At least it spawned one
up here too.

by mortsto-x who gave it to me as b-day gift; hungover and
anxiety-laden. needless to say, it scared the big twat out
of me. great stuff!

It's true. It must be the country where people go "eh?"
most.

Yes. Awesome show.

life

Stephen King made a remake. I haven't seen it, and
have no plans to do it either.

Riget is brilliant! I was desperately hoping for another
season. Sad that the two main characters died before Trier
had the chance. I still hope the manuscript can be released
as a book or something. And talking about the danish
language, a friend of mine who studied phonetics actually
talked to a danish researcher who claimed that if the danish
language conitinued it's "developement", it would in a few
generations be impossible for even dansih people to
understand. So, you danish kids should start to speak proper
danish and not that hip-hop language you speak now!

It seriously wouldn't surprise me at all. It's slowly
evolving into english anyway... Perhaps i should marry a
nice norwegian gal. Even if she sad she hated my guts, i
think it would sound cute.

On a Riget related note - Can you remember the scene where
Fru Drusse's son, has to find his inner power animal, and it
turns out to be a penguin??? I'm pretty sure David Fincher
ripped that scene off in fight club (Where Edwart Nortons
character has to do a similar thing as therapy, and his
animal turns out to be a penguin too)

I have finished watching Riget I & 2 now and I can honestly
say it was one of the best television series I have ever had
the pleasure of seeing. Some bits had me in tears of
laughter (basically any scene with Stig Helmer) whereas
others creeped the hell out of me. Such a shame that it was
never properly concluded, but what a ride while it lasted.
Awesome.
