Aging King George III of England is exhibiting signs of madness, a problem little understood in 1788. As the monarch alternates between bouts of confusion and near-violent outbursts of temper, his hapless doctors attempt the ineffectual cures of the day. Meanwhile, Queen Charlotte and Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger attempt to prevent the king's political enemies, led by the Prince of Wales, from usurping the throne.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A tragicomic portrait of authority crumbling from within, where the most powerful man in the realm becomes trapped by his own fractured mind while courtiers scheme around him. Both darkly funny and deeply uncomfortable to watch.
