Gunstlingen (2004)
The documentary tells the life and times of Gustav Mauritz Armfelt (1757-1814) a member of King Gustaf III's court. He had a brilliant career as the head of culture, the royal theatres, and Swedish academy. He quickly raced to the top both politically and militarily. An eccentric and aggressive character. His relationship to Miss Magdalena Rudenschöld remains one of the most passionate in Swedish history. An extraordinary person's portrayal, from a nobody to one of Sweden's most powerful men, in such a short time.

A Brilliant Conflict
If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
