William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” might remain the gold standard for stories about pissed-off princes who seek vengeance on their villainous uncles who’ve a) killed their brothers and b) snatched up by the queen and kingdom immediately afterwards. However, the Bard was actually inspired from the very story that frames Eggers’ film. “The Northman” take...
The Viking Age as we think of it today spanned almost 300 years, beginning with a sudden Norse expansion around 793 A.D. (likely prompted by overpopulation, technological advancements, and pockets of violent discontent with Fjölnir’s enemy King Harald I, among other factors), and ending with the death of King Harald Hardrada during the Battle of St...
Yes, Eggers is an American director playing with history and traditions that are not his own, but “The Northman” is very much the product of an Icelandic perspective: When Eggers jumped into creating a Viking epic, he turned to veteran Icelandic novelist, screenwriter, poet, and Oscar-nominated “Dancer in the Dark” song lyricist Sjón to co-write th...
“The Northman” may not make 10th century Europe seem like a particularly chill place to live — say what you will about modern times, but at least we’ve dialed it back on the idea of arranging human corpses into home décor — but Amleth’s journey reveals one major upside about being a vengeful prince at the height of the Viking Age: If you lost sight...
The plot of “The Northman” is fairly straightforward, and you only really need to grasp the events of the first act to get the gist of it. But that’s when the real “Northman” experience kicks in: As Amleth grows up and becomes a “Viking berserker,” raiding villages as he continues his quest for vengeance, the camera often glides through vast outdoo...
In a modern-day context, the fur-clad figures seen throughout “The Northman” wouldn’t look natural anywhere but the Met Gala. But in this setting, they’re key to providing a near-documentary glimpse of what Vikings looked like. Costume designer Muir, who also worked on “The Lighthouse” and “The Witch,” assembled no less than 918 hand-sewn garments ...
In this movie, when one character says to another they’ll see each other in Hell, they mean it literally. In this case, the setting is lava-encrusted landscape well-suited for a semi-nude battle to the death. While he didn’t shoot on location, Eggers imagined the setting of the showdown as Mount Hekla, a 4,891-foot active volcano in southern Icelan...
