Bille August to Adapt Karen Blixen’s ‘Ehrengard’ as Netflix Film, With Set Design by Queen Margrethe II of Denmark
Naman Ramachandran Bille August, director of Oscar and Palme d’Or-winning film “Pelle the Conqueror,” is adapting Karen Blixen’s “Ehrengard” as a Netflix feature film. “Ehrengard” is one of the last works from Blixen (1885-1962), the author whose autobiographical memoir was filmed as “Out of Africa.” The story is set in the fairytale kingdom of Babenhausen where a young, self-appointed expert on love, Cazotte, is hired by the scheming Grand Duchess to help her secure an heir.
