 The latest Robert Eggers epic, starring Alexander Skarsgård, Anya Taylor-Joy and Claes Bang, with supporting cast Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe and the swan lady herself, Björk. The film starts off with a young prince Amleth witnessing the death of his father and vows The film has already premiered here in Europe, but I'm given to understand that it has yet been released in the US, so be ye warned, here be spoilers Now I can already see some of you clever clogs thinking "Hold on a second, Amleth? Young prince, uncle murdering the king? You can't fool me, this is just Hamlet with the serial number filed off" Wrong, you absolute fool. It's actually the other way around. Hamlet is actually based on the old scandinavian folktale of young Amleth seeking revenge for his fathers unjust slaying. Eggers himself called it "Viking Hamlet. Or as one studio executive said, ‘I love this Viking version of The Lion King.’" If you can imagine the kind of Arthurian storytelling of The Green Knight applied to Viking Hamlet and add lots of blood, nudity and muscles, you've probably gotten a good idea of what The Northman is. I personally liked this film quite a bit, and I encourage you all to go see it, if nothing else to encourage studios to make more films that aren't generic action IPs filled with quips and bland action scenes. So uh, have at it!

Woodenlung posted:The Witch is one of my favourite horror films of all time and I really like the lighthouse too, so was fairly excited for this. The trailer did not do overly much to me, although I liked them. Appeared too actiony for my taste, and the viking themes are some I dont enjoy much usually. But man, it ended up having all the classic Eggers traits I wanted, which the more trailers did not show that much of... and then some. You are not out of your mind, she bitchslapped him with her period blood. Guess you can call that a period piece
