The Northman

 

As Hollywood goes through it’s trends, releasing films of similar veins, the outsiders continue making films that challenge the norm and new insight to genres that have been neglected. Vikings were once a source for cinematic appeal, briefly. If anyone can recall that over dramatic swashbuckling action film starring Kik Douglas and Tony Curtis as friends and rivals in the 1958 classic, The Vikings, Robert Eggers’ vision will definitely knock any remaining memory from your mind. Eggers’ take on the Vikings is something to behold and marvel at. There is violence, death, horror, copious amounts of blood and deep-seated vengeance at the core. Those who are squeamish, need not see this epic. However, they would be missing out on a truly fantastic mesmerising slice of cinema.
