It's a story fit for the Mail Online's sidebar of shame, yet the great sex scandal of 18th-Century Denmark is little known today.
Director Nikolaj Arcel gives the story of Queen Caroline Mathilde’s (Alicia Vikander) affair with the royal physician (Mads Mikkelsen) a traditional treatment, while striving for a modern emotional immediacy.
