‘Ehrengard: The Art of Seduction’ Director Bille August Talks ‘Fruitful Collaboration’ With Former Queen of Denmark on Hit Netflix Film (EXCLUSIVE)


Bille August found his creative match with the Queen of Denmark, with whom he collaborated on the hit Netflix film 'Ehrengard: The Art of Seduction.'

Bille August, the two-time Palme d’Or-winning director, found his creative match with the former Queen of Denmark, Margrethe II, who reinvented herself as a detail-oriented costume designer on his hit Netflix film “ Ehrengard: The Art of Seduction.” Having recently wrapped the seven-month shoot of the series “The Count of Monte Cristo,” August spoke to Variety about his fruitful collaboration with the witty Queen, his lengthy track record with period drama and people’s love for royal families. I admired her creativity and level of committment because a Queen has a very strict schedule and loads of official duties, but this is Margrethe II’s big passion and she dedicated a lot of her free time to work on this film.
