The film stars Alexander Skarsgård as Amleth, a Viking prince out for revenge against his uncle Fjölnir (Claes Bang, The Affair). After being away for decades, Amleth disguises himself as a slave to get close to Fjölnir. He falls in love with another slave, Olga (Anya Taylor-Joy), and their relationship is tested as Amleth’s plan to exact revenge escalates. He also realizes the life he lost was not the one he thought he had. 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. Memorable Movie Quote: "I will avenge you, Father! I will save you, Mother! I will kill you, Fjölnir!"

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.With shades of Beowulf and Braveheart in its DNA, The Northman is a bloody revenge story. Plain and simple. A loosely retold Hamlet, with Alexander Skarsgård as Amleth a Viking prince robbed of his heir to the kingdom as a young boy when his uncle Fjölnir ( Claes Bong, The Girl in the Spider's Web) kills Amleth’s father, King Aurvandil ( Ethan Hawke), and kidnaps his mother ( Nicole Kidman). Set on avenging his father’s death, Amleth sets out on an epic quest across the North Atlantic in search of those responsible for his father’s death. Aidan King is a graduate of Fitchburg State University and loves writing and talking about both movies and TV. In his spare time, Aidan participates in an Improv comedy group. Though The Northman is not a horror movie, there is plenty of gore and there are horror beats throughout its narrative that will likely provide some cross-appeal to those genre fans. But it’s the brutally honest depiction, without judgment, of the Vikings that further sets Eggers’ film apart from others in the genre. 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. The disc presents a 3840x2160/24p BT.2020 image in the film's theatrical aspect ratio of widescreen 2.00:1, and uses a Wide Colour Gamut (WCG), High Dynamic Range (and Dolby Vision) and is encoded using the HEVC (H.265) codec.
