A Royal Affair

Oscar-nominated A Royal Affair (En kongelig affære) is a sweeping romance set in the 18^th century court of King Christian VII.

The Candidate

Jonas Bechmann, a defense attorney, is a man of the system. Until the day he himself is accused of murder. Taking matters into his own hands, he throws himself into the hunt for a group of blackmailers who threaten to expose him as the killer. But nothing is what it appears to be, and the blackmail links back to his father's death under mysterious circumstances a year and a half earlier.

The Hunt

A teacher lives a lonely life, all the while struggling over his son's custody. His life slowly gets better as he finds love and receives good news from his son, but his new luck is about to be brutally shattered by an innocent little lie. The Hunt, directed by Thomas Vinterberg, is a disturbing tale of a wrongly-accused schoolteacher, a role for which Mads Mikkelsen won Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival in 2012. The Hunt won Best Screenplay at the European Film Awards 2012 and was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 2014 Oscars.
