Winner of the Best Actor and Best Screenplay awards at the Berlin Film Festival, and starring internationally acclaimed Mads Mikkelsen (CASINO ROYALE, COCO CHANEL & IGOR STRAVINSKY), A ROYAL AFFAIR is an epic tale of a passionate and forbidden romance that changed an entire nation.

Denmark, 1766, and Caroline Mathilde is married to the mad and politically ineffectual King Christian VII. Ignored by the wild King who chooses to live scandalously, Caroline grows accustomed to a quiet existence in oppressed Copenhagen. When the King returns from a tour of Europe accompanied by Struensee, his new personal physician, Queen Caroline finds an unexpected ally within the kingdom. The attraction between the two is initially one of shared ideals and philosophy, but it soon turns into a passionate and clandestine affair.

Committed to the ideals of the Enlightenment that are banned in Denmark, Struensee convinces the King to assert his previously untapped power to remove the conservative political council and implement drastic changes to Danish society. As the Court plot their return to power and the downfall of the Queen and Struensee, the consequences of their affair are made clear and the entire nation will be changed forever.

French? All i heard was Danish :P

[PhlegmDeNeige]

Yeah, because reading subtitles is so difficult. You should first learn how to write.

[Neil McCrea]

I'd be happy to shoot you for being too lazy to read subtitles. Let me know where you'll be and I'll let the lead fly.

[monontnonny]

lol can't tell if this is a comedy, though I was expecting horror. Where's the part where Hannibal starts eating people? I'm diggin the music to this though, I gotta look up the soundtrack to this!

[Kristina Wei]

Beautifully put. I feel the exact same way.

[Kristina Wei]

I'm absolutely in love with this movie. Give it a shot, guys! It's beautiful.

[waivedwench]

[VICTORV1990]

I speak english....shoot me if I don't want to read the whole movie; I read enough in college.

[DrakonicWatcher]

wow this took a while to be released in canada

This is the best royal biography adaptation ever! So moving, such great acting, it momentarily transcended the viewer into the time these two royalties lived and the challenges they faced. A very intense experience indeed, very real. And I particularly enjoyed watching the film in Danish and hearing the actors' enunciation, for it transfers emotions, reasoning, doubt... Reading the subtitles simultaneously wasn't that big a deal. If anything, the movie urged me to see other Scandinavian films.

mveer d- Doesn't anymore read the description? It's Danish. Mads Mikkelsen is a dane! (Denmark has Europe's eldest monarchy).

[LaurelleDuMal]

Such a good film this seems! I recently saw Mads Mikkelsen in "The Hunt", he is a great actor.
