Synopsis
Ehrengard: The Art of Seduction (2023) is a Danish-Swedish period comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Veteran director Bille August adapts a late tale by Karen Blixen, the writer behind Out of Africa, into a featherlight court romance.
A self-styled master of courtship takes on a delicate job: coach a shy young prince into wooing a bride. His theory is flawless, his confidence total. The prince balks, the woman in question turns out sharper than every schemer at court, and the puppet-master slowly tangles himself in the very scandal he meant to stage. Mikkel Boe Følsgaard and Sidse Babett Knudsen trade barbs through powdered wigs and palace halls.
It's a small, elegant joke about vanity tripping up the people who pride themselves on control. Good for an unhurried evening with European costume drama — gilded interiors, double-edged dialogue, nobody in a rush. Stream Ehrengard: The Art of Seduction (2023) online on iFILM.
