A Royal Affair - In the tradition of sumptuous costume dramas such as Amadeus and The Madness of George III, A Royal Affair shines light on a little-known love affair set amidst the intrigue of an eighteenth-century kingdom. Young queen Caroline Mathilde (Alicia Vikander of Anna Karenina) arrives from England to marry the teenage King Christian VII of Denmark. The king soon degenerates into a life of debauchery, leaving his young wife to the charms of the king's personal physician (played by Mads Mikkelsen, star of the new series Hannibal). Together, the young queen and the brilliant courtier start a revolution that changes a nation forever. Winner of the Silver Bear Award for Best Actor and Best Screenplay at the 2012 Berlin Film Festival, the film is, in the words of critic Leonard Maltin, "surprisingly contemporary
If you think costume pictures have to be stiff, or stuffy, this film should dispel any such notions." [2012, Denmark, Runtime 137 min, Rated R.]
Cost: 4.00 to 6.00
