Here's the trailer with English sub for the Danish film "A Royal Affair" by writer/director Nikolaj Arcel who wrote the script for the Swedish film "The Girl With The Dragon Tatto."
In the late 18th century, English rose Caroline Mathilde (Alicia Vikander) is packed off to Denmark to marry her mentally unstable cousin, King Christian VII (Mikkel Boe Folsgaard). Despite his erratic behaviour, she does her duty and produces an heir. Christian then sets off travelling around Europe, recruiting Johann Friedrich Struensee (Mads Mikkelsen) as his personal physician.
Wily Struensee quickly learns how to handle the difficult monarch. On their return, he begins a passionate affair with Caroline. Together, the lovers embark on an audacious political scheme to introduce progressive social reforms by tricking the King into signing the necessary legislation! This sumptuous, award-winning period drama is based on an astonishing true story that is little known outside Denmark.
Danish actor Mads Mikklesen ("Pusher") stars in the film together with Alicia Vikander, and Mikkel Følsgaard.
"A Royal Affair" will be released on June 15th, 2012 at selected Cineworld Cinemas.
