Who would've thought I'd break down another Robert Eggers film?
Not me. But this time I loved it. The Northman (1994) is a revenge viking epic with Aleksander Skarsgård as Amleth the viking whose fate is set to avenge his father after being killed by his uncle Fjolnir, and save his mother.
We talk it all with the story, the deep themes, Norse mythology, and being the sole inspiration of Shakespeare's Hamlet, which led to the Lion King (1994).
