'The Northman' is a dark story of revenge and primal magic, and something fans of Viking tales should see on the biggest screen possible.
The Northman,
There are twists and turns along the way, and plenty that make this a far different offering than Shakespeare’s most famous play. For one thing, Hamlet is typically set some hundreds of years later, doesn’t involve brutal raids on Rus villages, has no chanting berserker warriors in wolf pelts and none of its characters ever set foot on Iceland, let alone raid ancient tombs to find magical swords.Again, I won’t spoil what that means, but you can use your imagination.will leave you dizzy.
For the most part, the casting was terrific. Alexander Skarsgård plays the titular Northman, Amleth—our Hamlet—and he absolutely kills in the roll. Skarsgård has always struck me as a guy who seems genuinely nice and pleasant in real life, but he takes on the role of vengeful barbarian with a dark passion . Anya Taylor-Joy plays the Slavic witch, Olga of the Birch Forest, and is as good as ever. Willem Dafoe plays Heimir the Fool—half jester, half mad prophet.
My biggest concerns going into the film were two much more established movie stars who simply felt out of place in my mind and in the film’s trailer. Ethan Hawke plays Amleth’s father, King Aurvandil War-Raven and Nicole Kidman plays Amleth’s mother, Queen Gudrún. My fears were both well-founded and not.
