Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDirector Robert Eggers worked with historians and did meticulous research into the period, to make sets, costumes and props as authentic as possible, while also going back to a period before Christianity influenced Viking culture. Professor Neil Price, archaeologist at Uppsala University in Sweden who worked on the movie, later stated that "the Northman might be the most accurate Viking movie ever made." Eggers did admit that there were few historic references for Amleth's initiation ritual, making it "probably the most fictional ritual in the movie."
- GoofsThe runic inscription of "Amleth's Saga" is written incorrectly in the movie version as opposed to the trailer of The Northman where it is correct. The title shown in the trailer written with runes can be translated to "amluthasaka" or amlóða saga, amleth's saga.
However at the end of the actual movie the title is missing the rune of "a" from its word saga, making it read akin to "Amleth's sga".
- Quotes
Young Amleth: I will avenge you, Father! I will save you, Mother! I will kill you, Fjölnir!
- Crazy creditsThe film title and the intertitles appear in ancient Norse runes.
Featured review
Appreciated more than enjoyed
I hadn't realized this film was directed by Robert Eggers, else I would've been better prepared. It's not what I expected, and it was hard to really get into.
That said, I can appreciate the film for its art. I would say it's a gem for cinephiles. It's like viewing the imagination of a medieval Viking peasant as he listens to a bard tell the tale of Amleth.
Great for what it is, but does not evoke emotional connection to the characters, and therefore feels less satisfying.
