Synopsis: The mythology recounted in The Northman feels both fresh and familiar at the same time. Robert Eggers’ The Northman is an amazing tale of brutal revenge that takes no prisoners, forged in fire and fury. The film is ever-engaging and immersed in the director’s long-standing predilection for period realism, co-written by Eggers and Icelandic poet Sjón. While it brilliantly demonstrates Eggers’ directorial prowess. As shown in the movie, King Aurvandill (Ethan Hawke) is assassinated by his brother Fjölnir (Claes Bang), who then usurps the throne, and Queen Gudrun (Nicole Kidman). Aurvandill names his little son Amleth (Oscar Novak) as his heir before committing fratricide, making him the next target for his uncle’s blade. Amleth pulls a wooden boat over the choppy waters of coastal Ireland, narrowly avoiding capture, sadly proclaiming his new life’s mission: “I shall avenge you, father.” Mother, I’ll save you. Fjölnir, I’m going to murder you.” Years later, Amleth has earned a reputation as a merciless warrior among a band of Viking berserkers, donning bear pelts and pillaging a series of villages in a rage. For the first time since his country crumbled, he learns the name of his father’s murderer after one of his tribe’s victorious conquests. After losing the crown he took from Amleth’s father to a Norwegian invasion, Fjölnir appears to have been exiled to the barren island of Iceland. Amleth disguises himself as a slave heading towards Fjölnir’s Icelandic house, meeting indentured Slav Olga on the perilous boat trip across the Atlantic, his rage reawakened. Amleth steadily plans his white-hot, unsparing revenge when he arrives in the country of black sand beaches and boiling hot springs.
