[15] - 138mins (subtitles)

Raised in 18th century England, young Caroline Mathilda (Alicia Vikander) is sent to Denmark to be married to King Christian whom, it becomes clear, is schizophrenic. When German advisor Johann Struensee arrives to help him control his affairs, Caroline is taken with his wisdom and they fall deeply in love. With his influence over the King, he starts to think of ways in which they can change Denmark for the better. Years in the making, you can see the evidence in the depth of the characterisation, and sumptuous production values which lend this well-crafted film a rich and satisfying feel.
