"In 1766, Denmark is ruled by fear and oppression. Caroline Mathilde is married to the mad King Christian VII, who ignores and humiliates her. When the King introduces Struensee, the new royal physician, Queen Caroline finds an unexpected political ally."
"Eine der emotionalsten Begebenheiten der europäischen Geschichte: Das Macht- und Liebes-Dreieck zwischen der dänischen Königin Caroline Mathilde (Alicia Vikander), ihrem wahnsinnigen Mann, König Christian VII. (Mikkel Boe Følsgaard), und dem deutschen Arzt und Aufklärer Johann F. Struensee (Mads Mikkelsen) stürzte die dänische Monarchie in eine tiefe Krise. Die skandalöse ménage à trois endete mit der Scheidung des Königspaars und der Hinrichtung des Leibarztes."
"Christian VII di Danimarca a 17 anni è già re e sposa la cugina principessa Caroline Matilda sorella del re d'Inghilterra Giorgio III. Dopo il matrimonio la sua instabilità mentale si accentua manifestandosi in una promiscuità sessuale che esclude, salvo che per la procreazione di un erede, la moglie dai rapporti. Strumento del tutto passivo di un Consiglio di Corte assolutamente reazionario Christian cambia atteggiamento dopo aver conosciuto Johann Friedrich Struensee. Costui è un medico tedesco convinto assertore delle idee dell'Illuminismo il quale, divenuto suo dottore personale, riesce a instillare i propri ideali nel re il quale li impone ai suoi ministri sempre meno disposti a ottemperare ai suoi ordini. Intanto la sempre più negletta Caroline inizia una relazione con Struensee. (Mymovies)."
"The passionate and forbidden romance between Johann Friedrich Struensee, the royal physician, and the young but strong-willed Queen Caroline Mathilda, wife of the mad Danish king Christian VII, leads to a revolution that changes an entire nation."
"Nikolaj Arcel directs this Danish period drama based on a novel by Bodil Steensen-Leth. Mads Mikkelsen stars as Johann Friedrich Struensee, a bright young doctor who becomes personal physician to the psychologically unstable King Frederik of Denmark (William J hnk Nielsen). Struensee's ambitions know no bounds; as well as winning the affections of the young Queen Caroline Mathilde (Alicia Vikander), he becomes increasingly involved in the King's state affairs, using his position to forward the enlightenment, implementing freedom."
"Winner of the Best Actor and Best Screenplay awards at the Berlin Film Festival, and written and directed by Nikolaj Arcel (co-writer of The girl with the dragon tattoo) 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."
