OSCAR NOMINEE, BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM
A Danish film that will make you forget the Dogme movies ever happened, this sumptuous, based-on-a-true-story costume drama recounts the affair that ended the reign of King Christian VII and sparked a revolution and does so with near-literary craftsmanship, tone, and insight [balanced by] thrillingly cinematic [and] gorgeous cinematography.
