Product Information

THE FACES OF VIKINGS - "The cast of THE NORTHMAN, alongside director Robert Eggers, discuss the depth of the characters and their experiences working together." Audio Commentary. Co-writer/director Robert Eggers provides an informative, engaging commentary, with lots of discussion on the effort taken to achieve historical accuracy, which is difficult considering just how little is known of the Viking culture from 1,000 years ago. When things get loud, and they do quite often, the room shakes and the windows rattle, yet atmospheric sounds remain tender and appropriately placed. This one will give you a great opportunity to stretch out your audio system. Supplements: Eggers’ approach to the film is an acquired taste to be sure, and he certainly makes The Northman a unique film with a definite vision. The story, however, is a bit formulaic, except where it’s laced with nods to Norse spirituality. It is a film of memorable moments, but they don’t quite gel into a completely memorable film overall. It’s worth a watch to be sure, and some of the images will stay with you, and for this film, that’ll have to be enough.

The Northman - Rotten Tomatoes The Northman - Rotten Tomatoes

if you enjoyed The VVitch, The Lighthouse, The Green Knight, and Nicolas Winding Refn's Valhalla Rising then Eggers' latest will almost certainly be for you The following special features are available on Digital, 4K UHD, and Blu-ray. They are not available on the DVD. Having set out to make the definitive Viking movie with The Northman, director, co-writer Robert Eggers – along with writing partner, Icelandic poet, Sjón – shoots for unconditional authenticity by working with archaeologists and historians to get all the tiny minutiae of the Viking physical world right. Say what you will about the importance of accuracy in a Viking movie set in the 10th century AD, but there’s no denying that with The Northman, Eggers has indeed, created the definitive Viking movie.

Amleth’s Journey To Manhood” Featurette. The “initiation” scene between King Aurvandil and Amleth is explored, as the actors and Eggers discuss the Viking ritual into manhood. Running Time: 3:56 Violently unforgiving, and relentlessly dark, Robert "The VVitch" Eggers' small scale revenger enjoys bursts of well-staged Berserker brutality, and a LOT of raging, mostly coming from the beast that ate Alexander Skarsgård.A film with stunning visuals like The Northman needs a great transfer, and Universal doesn’t disappoint. Despite most of the film featuring a dark, desaturated image, the detail is astonishing at times, thanks to a high bitrate. A subpar transfer betrays itself in dark scenes, where shadow and night turn into a pixelated, disappointing blotch. Not so here: every scene, thanks to its Dolby Vision mastering, shows every last bit of detail on your screen. It’s one of the best transfers I’ve seen this year – it’s absolutely superb. The Northman is no mere revenge tale: it is a tragedy, an exploration of the bond between fathers and sons, and a look into the Norse culture’s connection to the supernatural. Eggers blurs the line between reality and the surreal, which at times obstructs the narrative. Amleth’s fate is pre-determined, it seems, with the gods directing his path. However, if you’re expecting a more visceral tale, along the lines of Conan, Braveheart, or even Gladiator, where the quest for vengeance propels the story, you’ll be disappointed. The Northman is no less brutal, but far more introspective than those films. It isn’t trying to be a crowd-pleaser: it tells its story, regardless of the fact that American audiences will find most of the Viking perspective strange. Despite that, it’s also the main reason why the film overall is a fascinating watch. Memorable Movie Quote: "I will avenge you, Father! I will save you, Mother! I will kill you, Fjölnir!" AN AGELESS EPIC – An in-depth look at how filmmakers, cast, and crew immersed themselves in Norse history and mythology in an effort to make The Northman the most accurate Viking epic ever filmed.

Take a deeper look at how filmmakers and cast crafted this mysterious ritual. If you know Robert Eggers and his body of work, then you don’t need me to build up your expectations for The Northman. If you’re unfamiliar, just know that Eggers creates fantastic, slow-burn period pieces with stunning visuals. In The Lighthouse, he explored the human psyche driven to the breaking point by isolation. In The Witch, he crafted a new breed of psychological horror film, setting the devil himself loose on a Puritan family in the 1600s. For The Northman, Eggers explores the Viking legend that inspired Hamlet with a fair dose of Norse spirituality, which is responsible for many of the film’s most striking visuals. It also boasts an impressive cast, led by Alexander Skarsgård ( True Blood), and it is quite unlike any movie you’ll see this year.
