Kramer made Doc's Kingdom after moving to Europe; Libération called it "a beautiful reflection about exile." Part of a trilogy that began with Milestones and continues with Doc's journey in Route One/USA, it was filmed in Portugal, where Doc (Paul McIsaac), former Weatherman, has turned medicine man, practicing in a Lisbon suburb. "Doc, Kramer's alter ego, lives a painful existence, shared between his warehouse on the quai and the hospital. Loneliness and alcohol are the signs of a ragged life. But his past is catching up with him. His son Jimmy (Vincent Gallo), pursuing his mother's death, finds him and is determined to finally get to know him. Doc's Kingdom is the poor and derisory kingdom of a lonely King Lear. A film about the death of utopia." (Harvard Film Archive)
