A Royal Affair

My dear readers,

I would like to introduce you a movie. "A Royal Affair" is a Danish movie directed by Nicolaj Arcel. This movie received two Silver Bears at the 62nd Berlin International Film Festival and was nominated for the Academy Award for best foreign language film and at the Golden Globe Award for the best foreign language film. Generally it had good criticism from the media and the movie critics.

This historical drama is set in the 18th century at the court of the King Christian VII of Denmark. The story tells the love story between the queen Caroline Matilda of Great Britain and the doctor of the king.

This story is not just a simple romance, it shows how this illegitimate couple reformed (especially social reforms for the poorest)  the country inspired by the Enlightenment.

This story which is a true story had a huge impact on the History of the Denmark (I don't tell anything else and let you the surprise!)

Why do I recommend you this movie?

It is a really nice way to learn more about Denmark and its History. You also come across many theories of the Enlightenments (which for your personal knowledge isn't that bad!). 

It's available in English and there are some really good expressions so don't wait anymore and watch it !
