	HORROR TV : The Kingdom II - Il Regno II di Lars Von Trier (1997)
		Kingdom II, mostra come le immagini né ci curano né ci aiutano a vivere né ci uccidono, mostrano come siamo immagini, come sia difficile curare le immagini, curare il corpo delle immagini, curare qualcosa di così simile, di così vicino alla spettralità della nostra vita.
		Kingdom 2 non è né video, né cinema, ne televisione, è davvero la contaminazione dell’immagine.
		Credo che il delirio razionalizzato post-kubrickiano e il riconcentrarsi nel dogma della libertà intravista nell’idea di Kingdom II, rendano conto della rarità di questo delirio.
