Gustav Wied (1855-1914) provided the novel on which Anders Refn's grand-style film is based: In 1890, a brutish baron takes an upperclass divorcee with a child as his bride to ensure himself of an heir. She, on her part, marries mostly to obtain security and respectability and soon drifts into an affair with her refined house-guest cousin. On finding out, the baron engages in a revenge-scheme that turns fatal.
