In the fairytale kingdom of Babenhausen, Cazotte, a young and self-proclaimed love des des expert, is hired by the scheming Grand Duchess to help her find an heir. While searching for a suitable future princess, Cazotte teaches the shy and introverted crown prince the art of seduction and lovemaking. But their plan soon goes awry when an illegitimate heir is conceived and the royal family is forced to seek refuge in Rosenbad Castle. Here, while rivals within the royal family work on their plan, Cazotte himself falls in love with Ehrengard, the bridesmaid, and learns along the way that he's not really an expert in love at all.

Mediocre film in which a painter makes an appointment with a duchess about the succession to the throne. The whole thing resembles a lighter version of Dangerous Liaisons. Developments follow each other quite quickly. And it all looks good with beautiful locations and costumes. However, the characters came across as rather annoying. Just under 3.0 stars.

The title is somewhat misleading. This romantic comedy, packaged as a costume drama, is a film about intrigues at court rather than about the seductive skills of a portrait painter, because they are hardly depicted. Compared to his other works, a weak film from the otherwise solid director Bille August.

Gee, what to think about this. It all comes across as very kitschy and plummy, but somehow it works. It helps if you get "into" the movie. Intrigue at the royal court, presented in a very light-hearted comic tone by Mikkel Boe Folsgaard. He, almost the schlemiel of the group, and unless he can paint nicely, he is not of noble blood.

It is the queen who orders him to help the crown prince find a lover, otherwise the throne will be lost to the king's petulant brother. At the same time, he himself has a crush on the beautiful Ehrengard. There are certainly some nice scenes in it, but I don't think it will appeal to the general public. You can't take it all very seriously.

All in all a nice snack, but my love for Danish cinema may have also contributed to this. Otherwise I might never have watched this.
