The award-winning A Royal Affair hits DVD & Blu-ray in the UK next Monday (October 29th) through Metrodome Distribution and weve got three DVDs copies that were giving away to three lucky people.
The most dramatic love story in Danish history is the affair between King Christian VIIs physician, Johan Struensee, and the English born queen of Denmark, Caroline Mathilda, in the early 1770?s. During the past 40 years, several screen adaptations of this emotional chapter in Danish history have been on the drawing board, but it isnt until now, with Nikolaj Arcels A Royal Affair, that a Danish feature film about one of the countrys most fascinating dramas reaches the silver screen
Starring Mads Mikkelsen and Alicia Vikander A Royal Affair is directed by Nikolaj Arcel, who is behind award-winning features such as Kings Game (2004) and The Island Of Lost Souls (2007). Lately Arcel was nominated for the most prestigious film prize in Scandinavia, The Nordic Film Council Prize, for his dramacomedy Truth About Men (2010). Arcel also wrote the screenplay for Stieg Larssons The Girls With The Dragon Tattoo an accomplishment for which he earned a BAFTA nomination (2011). A Royal Affair meanwhile found great success at the Berlin Film Festival, with Best Actor going to Mads Mikkelsen and Best Screenplay being shared by Arcel and Rasmus Heisterberg.
