The fourth contribution to the grass roots Dogme 95 collective, THE KING IS
ALIVE is a psychological horror film that uses a bleak yet beautiful African
landscape to tell a haunting tale of human weakness and survival. The story
concerns a group of vacationers who are traveling through the torturous Namibian
desert. When they discover that the compass the driver, Moses (Vusi Kunene), has been using is actually broken, they quickly become terrified at the prospects of
becoming stranded. This fear quickly turns into reality after the bus runs out
of gas near a small abandoned village. The only resident, Kanana (Peter
Khubeke), watches the foreigners slowly unravel with a resigned detachment. The
travelers themselves–including the unhappily married couple Ray (Bruce Davison)
and Liz (Janet McTeer), French intellectual Catherine (Romane Bohringer), flaky
American Gina (Jennifer Jason Leigh), condescending Englishman Charles (David
Calder), and sensitive actor Henry (David Bradley)–begin to lose their sanity
ever so slowly, fighting with each other and themselves, until there appears to
be no hope left. Henry’s last attempt to keep the group unified, by engaging
them in staging a performance of Shakespeare’s KING LEAR, provides the weary
individuals with an outlet that just might save them after all. Kristian Levring
uses Dogme’s tenets to breathe striking new life into an otherwise traditional genre.
