The Northman

In Robert Eggers' Norse epic, Amleth, now a grown Viking warrior, seeks vengeance for his father's murder, committed by his uncle who also stole his mother's heart. This atmospheric saga, set against the violence and superstition of medieval Scandinavia, is a visceral, blood-soaked odyssey through grief and redemption. Eggers' meticulous period detail and evocative landscapes frame a narrative of loyalty, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of justice, culminating in a confrontation that is as primal as it is poetic.
