A ROYAL AFFAIR makes Denmark's Oscar entry shortlist
A ROYAL AFFAIR, directed and co-written by Nikolaj Arcel, has made the shortlist to become Denmark's official entry for the 2013 Best Foreign Language Film Oscar. A committee set up by local film industry organizations and the Danish Film Institute selected the three films and will name the final Danish Oscar candidate on 18th September.
Arcel's A ROYAL AFFAIR premiered at the Berlin Film Festival, where it won honors for best screenplay and best actor for star Mikkel Boe Folsgaard. The 18th-century drama stars Mads Mikkelsen as a reform-minded doctor who becomes physician to the royal Danish court and begins an illicit affair with the Danish queen (played by Alicia Vikander).
