18th Century, Historical Drama, Complex Relationships, Royalty, Enlightenment

Steamy romance, a country in dramatic change, ambitious royalty--A Royal Affair is a treat for anyone who enjoys being sucked into the past. The costumes and sets are gorgeous and, in that miraculous way that films have, it really does seem like Denmark in the late 18th century. My intellect and history-buff mind was sufficiently stimulated.
