Aroview: A Danish medical soap opera from the director of BREAKING THE WAVES that's a bizarre yet compulsive combination of ghost story, TV drama and judicious (mostly medical) hack and splatter with a grungy video style. Not even vaguely related to anything you've seen on TV before.

I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
5 stars (Exceptional) Provocative images, twisted tropes, soap machinations combined in a wry observation of corporate/organisational culture gone-wrong (see also Von Trier's THE BOSS OF IT ALL). Consecutive viewing recommended for full effect. ~NDK
