A ROYAL AFFAIR (15)

Director: Nikolaj Arcel. Denmark 2012.128 minutes. In Danish, German and French with subtitles.

Superbly executed historical drama set at the Danish court in the 1760s. English born Princess Caroline is sent to marry the mentally ill King Christian VII, a man she has never met. Isolated and lonely after her marriage, she is drawn into a relationship with a fellow outsider, Struensee, the King’s reformist and influential German doctor. Together they influence the king to enact social reforms. Absorbing and visually exquisite, this is as much a conspiracy thriller as a romance.

Arcel gives this true story the shape and bite of a well-crafted fiction, and its political themes are every bit as stirring as the romance. Robbie Collin in The Daily Telegraph.
